Sounds good. Ok, I have the following questions: - How often does the best program win the tournament - How often the second best - How often does the average "middlefield" program win it - What is the chance to NOT end up in the top 3 for the best program - Idem ditto not top 5 - Same info with 22 rounds in stead of 11 Good idea, to simulate!
