Amiga Competition Tool made with CanDo 3. This tool creates player groups
from a list of up to 20 players. It also makes groups from any list of
items, in a randomly generated order, or in a seeded order. The seeded
option will pick a selection from the top, middle, and bottom of the 
items list, so that top players cant face each other, and are placed in
different groups. There is also a Sort option, to sort the items list 
based on a column value. It can also be used as a randomiser of anything,
including Music Chords, Menu Ingredients, Lottery Numbers, etc. The 
results can then be saved as a text file for printing or keeping.

   Type, Enter, or Load In some text into the left panel, make sure
   to press Return/Enter after every line, and leaving one blank
   line at the bottom of the list.

   Enter the Seeds/Players Per Group into the box (0 = no groups).

   depending on the number of seeds per group you entered.
