teamwork needs your help!

Specifically, your math help.

Do you know anything about statistics? If so, you might save the... um, couple of lines that I wanted Kakashi to say, except I figure HE knows about statistics so that the fact I don't is no excuse. I tried to muddle through with basic logic, but statistics being what it is I quickly got myself all tangled up in confusion and vaguely remembered school lessons from over a decade ago. Hrrrn. Curse you, Kakashi.

Anyway. 16 participants, 3 of which are members of Team Seven. They get paired up for matches. What's the likelihood of any two Team Seven members meeting each other?

Assuming they all miss each other and the next stage (8 participants) also has 3 Team Seven members, how much do the odds rise?


... this is all for the sake of two lines of dialogues that I might also rewrite, but let it not be said that I stifled Kakashi's self expression. >__>
