This is a tournament with too many rounds and too few players.  With 4 more
rounds left, the current standings mean absolutely nothing.  Because you can
bet that the top half of the field is going to have to play everybody up there,
and that hasn't happened yet.  It will get _very_ bloody the last four rounds
and the current standings won't mean much then...
