The tournament does NOT have to be exhaustive, or statistically meaningful - it's just ONE tournament, and many such tournaments will be needed before the numbers can be all put together into something statistically significant. Obviously looking up the SSDF results might be used for seeding purposes, but should have NOTHING to do with your competition, otherwise. This tournament is yours, and should be separate from any SSDF results other than seeding. Dave
