Default Creating a tournament program in Excel 2003

Hi, I'm a chess player hobbyist and I was wondering if it's possible to
design a tournament program using either VBA or functions in Excel 2003.
Here's the scenario: you have a group of people who play chess, say 10.
I'd like to know if there's a way to get Microsoft Excel to determine
who gets to play whom based on the results of the first round. For
example after each game, a person is assigned a 1 for victory or a 0 for
a loss. The program should be able to generate who gets to play each
other in the second round, for instance, people who won in the first
round get to play the ones who also won in the first round. Etc, etc
until there is only two best players who duke it out for the final round
and the championships. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks in advance.
