That is exactly what I am trying to do. Have 12 participants in the final event, make a swiss system and the best program will win. >>Once a program wins a specific tournament it can not enter the ones after it. > >I think you mean, once a program qualifies for the world championship event, it >cannot enter another one of the ICC qualifying tournaments, right? Yes exactly. Once a program wins an ICC qualification tournament it will not be allowed in the other 3. If a program does not win in the first one it can enter all 4 until is possibly wins. Only the top 3 participants in the tournaments can not enter the next one. They have qualified. >>Does this seem more reasonable, and possible? > >Yes, I think so.
