But of course I've run into a snag

the way it works is this

the tournament can have minimum 1 rider to maximum 144

each race room can have maximum 12 riders

the script i have auto-creates the first set of races "heats" perfectly.

the problem i am running into is with the 2nd set of races "semis"

for the semis i take up to maximum top 48 riders from heats. my script works great if i have an even amount of riders going into each semi (max 4 semi rooms at 12 riders each room)

here is an example with an even amount of riders per semi.
»onitracing.net/test.php?totalriders=144

now here is an example of when i don't have the same amount of riders in each semi.
»onitracing.net/test.php?totalriders=76

as you can see it can't properly calculate the riders in each heat.

the thing making it so hard is i want the positions to be staggered from each heat. meaning i don't want all 1st place to go to semi 1, 2nd place to semi 2 etc. i want them to be spread out evenly to each semi.

here is the script. i have been working on it for 2 days and it's driving me insane now.

to see how the script reacts with different amounts of riders just change totalriders in the url to anything from 1-144
