Er, well, if you have a look at an old tourney you will see the structure. However i'm not sure about the first round tho. Looks randome but probably based on order of entry.

Random is the most complicated thing to program ever!

Can you even program proper random or just lots of selections?

LOL no computer can make a truely random selection. There are plenty of different ways of doing it (most people use pre coded subroutines as Dudey said), but Magic's right, its effectively picking something different each time from a defined selection.

But then is there such a thing as truely random.. (apart from Magic'sposts when he's just in from the pub!)
