+1. In team-based tournament sports, often individual contributions are
+   overshadowed by the binary end result: win or lose.  This
+   winner-takes-all mentality may unfairly pair players in later
+   stages of the tournament based on the team's score rather than
+   their own in early stages.
+
+2. Project Objectives:
+  * To address issues of fairness in tournament orchestration and
+  * To create a general-purpose open source solution for organizing
+    team-based tournaments where individual performance matters
+    * by implementing an out-of-the-box open source server software
+    * capable of managing pairings, scoring, and statistics for a
+      variety of applicable game types
+    * accessable via an intuitive web interface.
+
+3. Stakeholders - the development team, testers, and a future community of users.
+
+4. A Project Leaguer server provides the user with everything needed
+   to run a tournament: regisration, pairing, scoring, and statistics,
+   right away through a simple web interface.  Project Leaguer also
+   gives its users a unique option for scoring, not available through
+   traditional tournament management techniques: peer review.  By
+   providing a forward facing, web-based interface for tournament
+   participants to score their teammates, Project Leaguer allows
+   individual ability and activity to be recognized within the context
+   of an all-in, win-or-lose multiplayer team game.
