Learning Goals:

Use random to create a simulation

Code support methods

Work extensively with ArrayLists: create, display and remove elements

Directions:

1. Create an ArrayList of Strings containing the names of your 8 teams. Use humorous names for your teams (Dwarves, Wizards, Dinosaurs, etc.)

2. Code a method public void playGame(int teamA, int teamB, ArryList teams)

a. teamA and teamB are the indices (sic. Indexes) of the teams that are playing the current game. You will use these to retrieve the String name of the team. For our purposes a Quiddich game has four quarters:

b. Each team randomly scores 0 to 4 goals worth 10 points each per quarter (0 40 points per quarter.

c. Each quarter, there is a 15% chance that a team will capture the Golden snitch. If that happens the game ends immediately and that team wins. (First determine if a team got the snitch, then if one did randomize which one wins with even probability.)

d. The method should display the results for each quarter that is played and indicate the final score or if the teams won by capturing the snitch.

e. There are no ties. Play additional sudden death quarters until one team wins.

f. Your method should remove the loosing team from the ArrayList and print a msg that that team (using the String name) has been eliminated from the Tourney.

3. Code your main program to display the list of teams. Then run the tournament. For each round pit every other team against one another.

a. First round: 4 games reduces teams to 4 remaining.

b. Second round: 2 games reduces teams to final 2

c. Final round: 1 game determines the tournament winner. Each time show the list of remaining teams and use your method to run the games for that round. (Hint: just use even/odd indices for the pairings: Team index 0 plays team index 1, team index 2 plays team index 3, etc.)

d. NOTE: use the printf output method, tabs \t, and divider lines to reasonably style your programs output similar to the example below. Some of this code is in the method and some will be in the main program that calls it.
