You send me an algorithm suitable for implementing in software; and I'll both write it up in open source, and wrap a user interface and some output formatting around it.

I need to do this for myself anyway for scrimmages, having some help will make life easier, not harder. I have been nibbling around the edges of the problem; but I haven't hit upon an approach that I like yet. The result has been two long nights of manually building lists of match pairings (for N=20 and for N=16) (Ugh).
