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:
<br>
<br>
5d 1d 1d 1k 1k 2k 2k 3k 3k 4k 4k 5k .....
<br>
<br>
Assuming all players enter at a realistic grade, where would you
set the bar?

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