Steve,
    Your problem is as follows. Since it is a ratings controlled swiss the
players must be entered in the seeding order that was used by the WMCCC
organisers. If you use the following order with the ratings as shown you will be
ok:
1. Shredder 2600
2. Fritz 2599
3. Junior 2598
4. Rebel 2597
5. Nimzo 2596
6. Chesstiger 2595
7. Crafty 2594
8. Diep 2593
9. Insomniac 2592
10. SOS 2591
11. Francesca 2590
12. Zchess 2589
13. pacque Expert 2588
14. Xinix 2587

Althought the above ratings are not based on anything it will generate the same
seeding order as used at the WMCCC. This method will generate the first 4 rounds
correctly.

Regards,
    Bill
