Examining the several solutions offered by Luis Cazares, mister.magoo and SSC Veteran they have one thing in common: I don't fully understand them. Because that's my problem we should not talk about that. I think that the first two solutions have much in common, but the one Luis offers is (a bit) more efficient. SSC Veteran chooses a different approach which works fine too, but is less efficient than the other two.

Because the lay-out is by tournament a year will be necessary as a parameter, so to me it seems logic that I use a stored procedure. I expect you can agree with that. Furthermore I hope that eventually I will understand the exact meaning of the code of Luis, but that takes time for a newbee.

Thanks for your efforts and compliments for every presented solution.
