Hi Heinz,

I agree with your comments. I'm wondering whether one should seed the engines
when entering them in the draw for a knockout or if the engines should be listed
as if pulled out of a hat. For this tournament I originally entered them all
alphabetically and then made some changes after the tournament was created which
of course messed up the alphabetical order!

Regards, Graham.
