<p>I believe that thre was one tournament (Maidenhead?) that always
had exactly 8 above the bar, hence they would (in your example)
split the 1 dans into two.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let's suppose I am organising a
tournament and I have a distribution of players towards the
top a bit like this:<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If it's a 3 round tournament then I'd
ideally like 8 players above the bar. If I took the 3-dans,
2-dans and 1-dans then I would have 11 players. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Would it be appropriate to split the
group of 1-dans, based on GoR, so that some of the 1-dans
are above the bar and some are below it? ie. some 1-dans
would have a different inital MMS to the others.<o:p></o:p></p>
