Hey guys I have a little free time at work so I am trying to learn ADO.NET and SQL. I thought a fun way to do this would be to write a program that creates a bracket of cigars and lets you pit them head-to-head and see which cigar comes out on top.
The database will track how well the cigars do and will post statistics as far as how well each cigar fared.
So there are no constraints, we can have any number of cigars we want and I will just pick a random nsample of cigars to fill the largest possible bracket (has to be a power of 2). (For example if we end up with a list of 20 cigars each time you play the program will randomly select 16 cigars to fill the bracket)
Anyways I was thinking we would go be series rather than individual cigar.
For example
Opus X
AF Hemingway Maduro Series
AF Anejo Series
La Aurora Preferidos 1903 Series
Padron Anniversary 1964 Series
