Could you show us some code?
It would help us in understanding the problem.

}this is the bubble sort and what is needed is to print out from first place to fourth place and remmember every time the match is run the team changes. i am also putting an output file i have but it is not creating the text file.
try{
//Open the file for both reading and writing
RandomAccessFile rand = new RandomAccessFile("tournamentresults.txt","r");
int i=(int)rand.length();
System.out.println("Length: " + i);
rand.seek(0); //Seek to start point of file
for(int team = 0; team < i; team++){
byte b = rand.readByte(); //read byte from the file
System.out.print((char)b); //convert byte into char
}
rand.close();
}
catch(IOException e)
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}// end of method
}
public void bubbleSort(Team array[])
{
int arrayLength = array.length;//get array length
for(int i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++)
{
for(int c = 0; c < (arrayLength - i); c++)
{
//compare and swap
if(array[c].points > array[c + 1].points)
{
Team temp = array[c];
array[c] = array[c + 1];
array[c + 1] = temp;
}//end if
}//end inner for loop
}//end outer for loop
}//end bubbleSort
public void printArray(Team[] array)
{
System.out.print("\n Array Data: ");
for(Team t :array)
{
System.out.print(t + " ");
}//end for loop
for(Team t :array)
{
System.out.print(t + " ");
}//end for loop
}//end method printArray

You are thinking of a random access RW file, presumably for in-place updating, but for the size you have here it would be much easier to just read the whole file into a suitable collection/class structure at startup, and write the whole thing back out (overwriting the file) at shutdown.
There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to read or write the whole shebang as a single Collection object in a single statement.
