[WIP] Create tournament pairings

[JonathanBresler]

Folks,

Please add to the pairings algorithm a preference to pair players

• that come from different regions of the country
• that have played the fewest games against each other once rating and previous wins/losses in the same event have been taken into account.

The ratings system is a network or mesh. The greater the number of different connections we can add to the mesh, the higher the quality of the ratings produced.

You should ask Jon Boley about the outcome for that question. He is highly knowledgeable about pairing rules like this. Send me a pm on slack and il get you his email.

@JonathanBresler -- I think those are good ideas, but I'm shooting for a a MVP for this pull request. But I agree those are worth keeping track of. How about filing some issues?

AGA has deprecated temporary IDs. No results file is accepted till all players listed have valid IDs. This policy has been in place for about six months. Compliance has been 100%.

AGA is trying to depreciate temporary ids. Players should sign up at the time of the tournament or ahead of time. This makes everything after the tournament go 100% faster.
