The code is pretty simple, it takes the list of players for the pool,
and flip flops them into the matches...

e.g.   if I were to start a pool with players a b c d e

it would create games....

a-b c-a a-d e-a
b-c d-b b-e
c-d e-c
d-e

      b l a c k 
      a b c d e
w  a  - X . X .
h  b  . - X . X
i  c  X . - X .
t  d  . X . - X
e  e  X . X . -
