EXAMPLE
The tree of 5-tournament sequences of descendents
of a node labeled (4) begins:
[4]; generation 1: 4->[8,12,16,20];
generation 2: 8->[12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40],
12->[16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56,60],
16->[20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64,68,72,76,80],
20->[24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64,68,72,76,80,84,88,92,96,100];
Then a(n) gives the number of nodes in generation n.
Also, a(n+1) = sum of labels of nodes in generation n.
