No neither I nor some amateurs from your uni. Isn't such divide and conquer feature not available in Swiss-System programs, doesn't matter whether you call it accelerated or delayed? Maybe the Computer Science Departure of the Bar-Ilan University has some ressources to develope such a sophisticated pairing program in a few month and collecting some experiences ;-) > >I can dream pairings, i've been competition leader, but no one except Jaap can >and he's not making pairings either.
