UCI is propritary? You must be kidding.
Here you can find the description of the UCI procotol:
http://www.shredderchess.de/download.html (it's text file). The ability to run
RR or Swiss tours or create result tables should rather be managed by the GUI or
maybe by a script but has nothing to do with an engine protocol.
But no one stopps you to create a new open source GUI that offers all that
functionality, of course :)
