challenge 6: tournament of the XX

Since we have eight players now, it would be perfect to play a tournament amongst yourselves. Eight people begin in the quarterfinals, four play in the semifinals and only two remain in the finals. This game is simple. Remember rock, paper, scissors, etc.? This game is quite similar except this time, there are five different items that react quite differently. The object of the game is to beat your opponent. The winner goes onto the next round.

The five items are: water, scissors, candle, paper and stick.
Water will beat scissors, candle and paper.
Scissors will beat candle paper and stick.
Candle will beat paper and stick.
Paper will beat stick.
Stick will beat water.

In each round, each player will be asked to place their five items in either slot 1 2 3 4 or 5. When both players have placed their items (within the time limit), the competition will begin. Items from both players in slot 1 will compete, using the scheme above, a winner will be determined. We continue until all slots have been completed. Whoever wins more slots wins the round. Winner will keep all the items that s/he has won during the round and will lose all the items that s/he has lost during the round. However, as money needs to be won in this round, winning excessively may not be the best method for the team. If a player wins 3-2 (a marginal victory), $2 will be won for the team. If a player wins 4-1, $1 will be won for the team. If a player wins 5-0, $0 will be won for the team during that round. So it is to your benefit to win marginally to gain more money for the jackpot. As long as every game is NOT won 5-0, money will be won. This is to your advantage.
