DRP'S PLAYERS-CHOICE PENTADECATHLON - FIFTEEN PLAYERS WANTED

OK. I want to run a tournament now - a pentadecathlon. It will work as
follows.

ROUND 1: Sixteen players enter.
PART I: Each is allocated 100 points for them to allocate amongst the
games on Richard's PBeM server. The fifteen most popular games will be
selected for the round of the tournament, with ties broken randomly. The
sixteen players will be allocated seed numbers randomly, and the games
will be allocated as follows:

GAME  1: 1-16 2-15 3-14 4-13 5-12 6-11 7-10 8-9
GAME  2: 1-3 2-16 4-15 5-14 6-13 7-12 8-11 9-10
GAME  3: 1-5 2-4 3-16 6-15 7-14 8-13 9-12 10-11
GAME  4: 1-7 2-6 3-5 4-16 8-15 9-14 10-13 11-12
GAME  5: 1-9 2-8 3-7 4-6 5-16 10-15 11-14 12-13
GAME  6: 1-11 2-10 3-9 4-8 5-7 6-16 12-15 13-14
GAME  7: 1-13 2-12 3-11 4-10 5-9 6-8 7-16 14-15
GAME  8: 1-15 2-14 3-13 4-12 5-11 6-10 7-9 8-16
GAME  9: 1-2 3-15 4-14 5-13 6-12 7-11 8-10 9-16
GAME 10: 1-4 2-3 5-15 6-14 7-13 8-12 9-11 10-16
GAME 11: 1-6 2-5 3-4 7-15 8-14 9-13 10-12 11-16
GAME 12: 1-8 2-7 3-6 4-5 9-15 10-14 11-13 12-16
GAME 13: 1-10 2-9 3-8 4-7 5-6 11-15 12-14 13-16
GAME 14: 1-12 2-11 3-10 4-9 5-8 6-7 13-15 14-16
GAME 15: 1-14 2-13 3-12 4-11 5-10 6-9 7-8 15-16

You get 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. All the players with
an equal highest number of points go on to the next round.

ROUND >1: 
If an even number of players enter, say 2N, then the players again
allocate 100 points to choose 2N-1 games. The players will be allocated
seed numbers randomly, and the games will be allocated following the
pattern above. Basically each player will play each opponent exactly
once and will play each game exactly once.

If, on the other hand, an odd number of players enter, say 2N-1, then
the players again allocate 100 points to choose 2N-1 games. The players
will be allocated seed numbers randomly, and the games will be allocated
such that each player will play each opponent exactly once, and will
play every game but one.

You get 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. All the players with
an equal highest number of points go on to the next round.

If you want in, message me with your userid and e-mail address.
