When I wrote my scoring software (Visual Basic) last year, I set it up with a max of 15 stages since that was the most I've seen in a match. My software is set-up to print portrait up to 5 stages. At 6 stages, it switches to landscape. If the match has more than 12 stages it prompts the user to ask if they will be using 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 14 paper. It then adjusts the font based on their reply.

The only advantage I have is, all I have to do to add more stages is change the code to display more in the intial setup dropdown box.
