Ray & I will differ on the interpretation of true man on man.. I've learned
the below format as a "Ladder Tournament" or ladder Draw.. seeding winners
against each other and pitting non-winners in their own groups..
I look at true man-on-man as a random matrix, Ideally pitting each flyer
agaist all others through an event and minimizing re-matches..
regardless, both methods are far better than the non-normalized alternatives..
