How do I get this PHP code to output HTML in order to enter the player's number and generate the tournament?

It's a PHP class. Reading the manual might help you.
Something along the lines of this might work:
$rr = new RoundRobin( 5 );
$rr->Scheldule( $_POST['PlayerCount'] );
But I can't be bothered deciphering the code to work out if it really will.
Also, if you haven't yet learnt HTML forms, read a tutorial like w3schools.
