What don't you understand. Hello, Well for one thing, every time a program wins another one must lose. This does not check out. Second, if there are 8 programs then each program can only play 70 games unless it plays a match against itself. Third since one program has not played its 70 games yet that means that even more games are not accounted for. It's impossible to have a tournament and everybody in the tournament have a winning score. If you cannot see this then I can't help you. Jim
