(d) 2nb
Answers
Answer:
N(N-1) (N = number of teams)
Explanation:
In case the number of teams is not a power of two, then byes shall be given. For instance if the number of teams participating are 11, next higher power of two will be 16. So, the number of byes is 16 – 11 =5.
Answer:
The Correct Option is B) N (N - 1)
Explanation:
Bye may be defined as, The advantage given to a team usually by drawing a lot and exempting it from playing a match
in the first round is known as Bye.
These are given to a specific number of teams in the first round.
The number of byes is decided by subtracting the number of teams from the next higher number
which is in power of two’s.
The formula we used to determine the number of byes to be given in each half either upper half or lower half of the tournament teams, in case of the number of teams are even is:
N(N - 1)
where N is the total number of teams in the tournament..
