Add a tournament mode

[michaeljacobdavis]

Allow for tournaments to be held using a bracket system.

Open questions:

• How to decide teams? Should rankings factor in?
• What is the time scale?
• Max/min number of teams

Please chime in on suggestions/comments/questions.

Some thoughts:

• Selection: Should be able to choose "Random" or "Rank" for method of assigning teams
• Time: No set time scale. Should be able to have multiple tournaments going on that end when completed OR manually.
• Max/Min: Min = 3 teams, Max = None
