Subject: Large tournament sections

First idea is on the tournament description, start putting a line that says: "Pawns, Bishops, & Knights: XX Game spots are needed to start this tournament"

Currently - section size of 4-8 = 5 spots free (10 spots for 2 games per.)

Why not just do the following.

Section size of 9-13 = 10 spots free (20 for 2 games - which for a pawn, means NO current games)

Section size of 14-16 = 15 spots free (30 fo 2 games - with pawns not able to join)

When I was a knight/pawn, I calculated like this:

For tournaments with 1 game for each 2 players:
X = M - 1

For tournaments with 2 games for each 2 players:
X = (M - 1) * 2

M = maximum players per section
X = number of slots to set aside
