What happens at the end of judging you end up with a non-transitive
relationship between a number of top (final) contenders? For example, ant A
beats ant B, ant B beats ant C, and ant C beats ant A (lets assume by
similar margins in each case, and that they all clearly trounce all others
in a one-on-one contest). In that case you might *need* to have a simulator
that does this so you can run a tie-breaker!
