I think, n must not be even, really. For odd n, just add a virtual player (all
his games mean a bye). So pairing with uneven n should be the same as even n (in
this context - for real Swiss rules, it effects the color selection).

BTW. I experimentally confirmed the above for n<=8, by generation all possible
pairings for n-3 rounds. n=10 would be possible with my program, but would take
half a day or so.
