The global and (logged in) player stats can be saved to the INL robot when
the game starts.  When it the game finishes, the robot can calculate the
difference and use those to spit out the tourney stats, then restore the
player and globals to their original state.  The downside to this is that
the robot itself must serve as a player DB to preserve the stats across
ghostbusts or player switching.  The other potential problem is that
if the robot ever dies, all stats [not recoverable from the logs] are lost.
