PHP.net announced today that PHP version 5.3.7 has been released. I&#8217;m not sure if this is old news or not, but I also saw in the announcement that &#8220;all [...]]]></description>

It simply weights each game by the teams&#8217; tournament seedings. It ain&#8217;t fancy, but if you&#8217;re tired of spending hours trying to pick the winners only to find you&#8217;re out of the competition [...]]]></description>
