[Geoff Kaniuk]

You have just registered your last player who happens to be 1d and 
people are waiting impatiently,  wanting to get on with your 3 round 
McMahon tournament.

You are now faced with with the problem of where to set the the bar. 
Suppose in this tournament the top players are:

5d 1d 1d 1k 1k 2k 2k 3k 3k 4k 4k 5k .....

Assuming all players enter at a realistic grade, where would you set the 
bar?

It would be interesting to see your instinctive answer, rather than 
consulting the Tournament Organiser's Handbook.
