FORMULA
This sequence is the difference between A000571 (Number of different scores that are possible in an n-team round-robin tournament) and A000570 (Number of tournaments on n nodes determined by their score vectors).
EXAMPLE
For n = 3 there are two possible score sequences: {0,1,2} and {1,1,1}. Both of them uniquely define the corresponding tournament. Hence a(3) = 0.
The first occurrence of a sequence that doesn't define a tournament happens for n = 5. There are two such sequences {1,1,2,3,3} and {1,2,2,2,3}. Let's consider the first sequence: {1,1,2,3,3}. Let's take the two best players - the persons with 3 wins - as one of them should win the game with another, there is only one other person who won a game with one of the two best players. It could happen that this player has score 1 or 2. Thus we can get two different tournaments with the same score vector.

FORMULA
a(n) = A000568(n) - A000570(n). - Michel Marcus, Nov 01 2019
EXAMPLE
All tournaments with 4 or fewer teams are uniquely defined by their score vectors. Hence a(1) = a(2) = a(3) = a(4) = 0.
For five-team tournaments only two score sequences do not define the tournament uniquely: {1,1,2,3,3} and {1,2,2,2,3}. The first sequence corresponds to two different tournaments and the second sequence to three different tournaments. Thus a(5) = 5.
