This looks like a natural spinoff for King of the Hill.  Like this:

    1. Everyone submits a warrior (by deadline)
    2. Program assigns round-1 opponents
    3. Program runs round-1 battles.
    4. Program assigns round-2 opponents in winner/loser brackets
    5. Program sends the participants their status and their
       previous and next opponents' last warrior code.
    6. Everyone (who is still in) submits a warrior (by deadline)
    .
    .  repeat 2-6 until there is only one participant left
    .

Of course if a participant does not submit a new warrior, his old
one is used.

Unfortunately I only have indirect access to Unix (for NEWS) and
can't offer to help.
