Number of Screens and Pre-Game Setup

All tournament games will be saved on both of the House Xbox's.
All player's profiles will be saved on every Xbox to be used in the tournament.
The method below will determine who is on which screen.  
Each round, redo this unless players unanimously agree to leave it as is.  
For team games, even if there are 3 TV's available, there are always 2 
people on one screen and 2 on another.  Flip a coin to determine which 
team gets the biggest screen.  

2 Screens

8 Players:
4 Players on Larger Screen
4 Players on Smaller Screen

7 Players:
4 Players on Larger Screen
3 Players on Smaller Screen.  Oh well.

6 Players:
4 Players on Larger Screen
2 Players on Smaller Screen

To ensure a fair tournament competition, players will be randomly selected for a screen.  
If there are 8 players, 8 numbers will go in a hat (1-8).  Numbers 1-4 will be on larger screen.  
Numbers 5-8 will be on smaller screen.  Players each draw a number from the hat.  
This determines placement for Round 1.   If there are 7 players, put 7 numbers in hat.  
1-4 is big screen, 5 is small screen top, 6 and 7 are small screen bottom.  If there 
are 6 players, put 6 numbers in hat.  1-4 is big screen, 5-6 is small screen.
