wow man... could you do yourself a favor and take Data Managment in grade 12? When generating 8 random numbers (from 1 to 8), what are the chances of them to generate an unique list? well chances of first to not repeat are 1/1 second - 7/8 third - 6/8 ... eighth - 1/8... multiply all those numbers together... you get 0.0025 they translate into 1:400 odds of you generating a unique list

but with your code, a person could go against him or herself. Also, in a tournament, I think you only play each person once. Or something like that, so a bit of math is involved. just use the stuff you learned in data management.

the guy is not in data managment, he's in grade 10 anyways, here's the link to the source code for that random list generator. Try to understand how it works.
