A semi-random algorithm creates the divisions based on all players signed up.
What we do is clump players of similar ability level together, so that new players on FunTrivia will have a greater chance of playing in a newbie tournament, while players with 1,000,000 points and 5 years of experience play against similar players. There is, however, a random element, so that tournament divisions always have new faces.
The lower numbered tournaments will tend to contain more experienced players.
