Broadcast from dshort via PBM Server

[pbmserv <pbmserv@gamerz.net>]

I need one more player to complete the field for the
Scramble tournament. It's not going to be 32 players
after all. I have come up with a formula that will work for
20 players. I have 19 players, I need one more.
Any volunteers?  see below.....
