well we do have 4 machine
so just divide that number by 4.
so it might be 5-10 hours average.
so i guess from lunch time all the way till eau claire's closing time.

no we've worked this shit out.


Let (x) = Number of people showing up
(x) = 16

if (x) > 16
then {
Each battle is best of 1 only
}

to make this simple, if 8 ppl played in this tourney
we will have 8 * 8 = 64
64 - 8 = 56 since a player cannot play themselves
then divided by two, since if 1 plays 2, 2 doesnt play 1 again....
thats 28 matches now.... divided by TWO since thats how many sets of machines we have, (two matches goes on with 4 machines.... not 4 matches) so we now have 14 total matches that will take time. x 3 minutes each match means 42 minutes for the tourney to be done, being a best of 1 round robin
understand?

now the math for a 16 player round robin...
16 * 16 = 256 matches if a player could play him/herself
256 - 16 = 240
240 / 2 = 120 since a player cannot play another player again
120 / 2 = 60 since 2 matches can happen at one time on the 4 machines, or 2 sets of machines....
60 total matches that will be taking time
60 * 3minutes/battle = 180 minutes
or 3 hours....... for a best of 1
