Question

4. How to calculate the total number of byes, if total number of team is odd ?​

Answer 1

Teams in upper half by formula N+1/2

Teams in lower half by formula N-1/2

Byes in upper half by formula N-1/2

Byes in lower half by formula N+1/2

Teams in each quarter is total teams divided by 4

{19/4} we have 4 as our quotient so

1st Q = 4+1

2nd Q = 4+1

3rd Q = 4+1

4th Q = 4

BYES ARE ALWAYS DISTRIBUTED FROM THE LAST TO FIRST

AS IN CASE OF UPPER HALF BYE WILL BE GIVEN AS FOLLOWS

LAST - FIRST - SECOND LAST -SECOND AND SO ON…

THEN SAME FOR SECOND HALF

Hopefully this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer will come also a odd number.

Explanation:

It is very easy. Suppose you have to draw a fixture of 11 teams on knock put basis.

Here we go with the formula:

First divide the teams into two halves, i.e upper half & lower half, then:

No. Of teams in the upper half= N+1/2,

i.e 11+1/2 =12/2 =6 teams in upper half

Then lower half= N-1/2,

= 11–1/2 = 10/2=5 teams in lower half

Therefore total No. Of byes:

Total no. of teams = 11

Next highest power of two =( 2)^4 =16

(Formula= 2^n - N) where N is the no. Of teams.

So the no. Of byes to be placed is

16–11 = 5 byes.
