OK, there we go. I got it now!!! LOL. Here what I mean. A league is the name for a tournament where a round-robin (usually double round-robin) is used. Round-robin or double round-robin is the tournament format. But to me, there's still a difference. Whenever I've seen a Round Robin tournament, it shows results in this type of format: http://www.dallassquash.org/resources/events/tournaments/2001/dsrafallfestival/graphics/60plus_rr.gif Or, if points aren't used, an X where a person lost, a T or D where they tied, and an O where they won is used. Whenever I've seen results of a league, it's been in soccer format like this for every team: Team Name, Games Played, Games Won, Games Tied, Games Lost, Point Earned, etc.... It just tells me that they're not exactly the same.

A leauge is usually used to describe a season in a sport (especially soccer) where each team will play each other team twice, once at home and once away. The team with the most points (3 for wins, 1 for draws) during that league wins the League Cup. Because most American sports use a format that doesn't give points like that, and the winner of the season is determined by playoffs, the term league isn't used. The closest thing is the MLS Supporter's Shield that the league now recognizes as the award for the team that would have won if playoffs weren't used. Round-robin pretty much specifically refers to a tournament where each team play another only ONCE. That's why the World Cup uses this, because the teams in each group play each other only once (since the World Cup is held in only one country, there can't be home-away play, and same for the Olympics). But World Cup qualifying uses a league format in all conferences because each team plays each other team twice. I hope that clears it up.

Yeah, I'm kinda more into the coding aspect of it. But sometimes that's very frustrating, because some coding problems have solutions too complicated for me. One of the reasons I think Adam is fit for worship (that is, if I actually worshipped). Doing a joint program would be cool, depends what it is, obviously.

Well, right now it's only up to 100 workers, but I can change that anytime I want, just though that would be a good maximum for now. It's just that the program recognizes a space as a newline command, so typing in a person's name with two words would cause the program to close (the program would recognize the answer to the next question as the next character after the space, which more likely than not won't be a "y". I'm actually trying to solve that problem right now. BTW, the reason I don't use VB is that it has too many limitations for me that a text-based interface doesn't. Since these kinds of things are data processing, not a game, I just think it works better. I'm actually going to try handling the round robin thing now.

If you don't mind, HDP, I finished a simple brand generator program (in C++ mind you, so it's not a graphical interface). Basically, you run the file preferrably in its own folder. It asks you to enter the name of a worker, so you do that and press Enter. Except when you enter it, please don't put spaces. So instead of Triple H, put TripleH, instead of Shawn Michaels, put ShawnMichaels, instead of John Cena, put JohnCena. After that, if you're gonna put in another worker, type in y and press Enter, then keep repeating the process until you want to stop, in which case put n instead of y and press Enter to stop entering names. The program then asks you to put in whether you want 2 or 3 brands, so put in one of those numbers and press enter. It will then randomly assign a brand to each worker, and put these in text files, brand1.txt, brand2.txt, and brand3.txt. After you finish typing in the names, the amount of time it will take for the process to finish will be 2 seconds for each name you enter, so if you enter 2 names, it'll take 4 seconds, 10 will take 20 seconds, 75 will take 150 seconds, so on. Also, if you chose only two brands, brand3.txt will still be there, it'll just be empty. Hope that isn't too confusing. If you have any questions, just ask.
