FRIENDLY TOURNAMENT
RULES
I am trying to end up with a final table of 16 with number 1 being the winner of the competion.
To do this i decided to first have 4 groups where everyone plays everyone else in their group once to end up with each group having a 1st, 2nd,3rd,4th position. So if you finish:

1st= Overall position between 1-4 at end of tournament
2nd= Overall position between 5-8 at end of tournament
3rd= Overall position between 9-12 at end of tournament
4th= Overall position between 13-16 at end of tournament

The next stage was to play the 1st,2nd,3rd,4th places of each group against the other group in their pool, to end up with a table of 8 for each pool, so if you finished (in the group stage):

1st and won you would be 1st in the table of 8 for your pool
1st and lost you would be 2nd in the table of 8 for your pool
2nd and won you would be 3rd in the table of 8 for your pool
2nd and lost you would be 4th in the table of 8 for your pool
3rd and won you would be 5th in the table of 8 for your pool
3rd and lost you would be 6th in the table of 8 for your pool
4th and won you would be 7th in the table of 8 for your pool
4th and lost you would be 8th in the table of 8 for your pool

Now that the is two tables of 8 they will be played against each other to finish with a overall/final table of 16. So if you finished (in the table of 8):

1st and won you would be the overall winner of the tournament
1st and lost you would be the runner-up of the tournament
2nd and won you would be 3rd overall in the tournament
2nd and lost you would be 4th overall in the tournament
3rd and won you would be 5th overall in the tournament
3rd and lost you would be 6th overall in the tournament
4th and won you would be 7th overall in the tournament
4th and lost you would be 8th overall in the tournament
5th and won you would be 9th overall in the tournament
5th and lost you would be 10th overall in the tournament
6th and won you would be 11th overall in the tournament
6th and lost you would be 12th overall in the tournament
7th and won you would be 13th overall in the tournament
7th and lost you would be 14th overall in the tournament
8th and won you would be 15th overall in the tournament
8th and lost you would be 16th overall in the tournament
