Customer Reviews

Great help in tournament planning

Very handy source for competition planning. Within a week of purchase we held a 14 team round robin that was much easier to set up with the book's guidance. Our tournaments generally conform to the number of teams that show up, so a reference that allows very flexible formats is appreciated by the event co-ordinator
