MacMahon
    Keywords: Tournament

Christoph Gerlach's MacMahon is a pairing program for McMahon and Swiss tournaments.

See [ext] http://www.cgerlach.de/macmahon.html for further information.

Current version (released 2004-04-25) is 2.47.


"MacMahon" is also a common misspelling of McMahon.

Christoph Gerlach: (historical note) When I wrote my program back in 1994, the name "MacMahon" was used in European tournaments and the system now referred to as "MacMahon" or "McMahon" was developed under the name "MacMahon" in Europe. The question now is: is it historically correct to call the system "McMahon" because this is the name of the person who invented the original idea or to call it "MacMahon" because this is the name under which the system developed to what it is now: a tournament system with many well defined features (the later is my preference).

TimHunt: I think that is slightly disrespectful to the Mr McMahon (Lee McMahon) who invented the system.
