Update - we have 19 so far so I'm considering approaches to get that down to a power of 2. 

 

As you know from my team name I kind of spend my working day working in binary. You've got a prime number, you're screwed. Ha Ha Ha (imagine that in a Bond villain voice)

Your best bet is to use a hash table, they work well with prime numbers, definitely avoid even numbers.

I vote for a preliminary round and I'll volunteer to be in it if it makes it easier.

Please count me in Mr Jago sir

If it helps you get up to 32 I'll do it!

Good work Ms Kent and welcome to the league. Or cup anyway.
 

 I’ve actually got a cunning plan which means we can take new joiners right up to the last minute next Saturday. All will be revealed on the morrow. So the more the merrier. 
 

And Mike if we did do a qualifying round it’s really not that hard. Number of Qualifying round entrants = (n-t)*2 where n is the overall number in the league and t is the next lowest integer power of 2. But I know you knew that and just like to overcomplicate things ?

I've got an excel formula for that
