What I’m trying to do is take registered users for a tournament and randomly pair them with one another, so my question is how would I go about this, any links towards useful information on this?

User submits interest in tournament, name is stored in mysql database, a button for the host runs actionscript/php to randomly pair the users in the database and display this information. If an odd number the last would be paired with a blank.

Any help would be appreciated, cheers!
