Question

how many byes Will be given if 13 team participating in a tournament
​

Answer 1

Answer:

For a team of 13 players, the value will be 16. Therefore, 3 byes will be given. Byes are given in match to some teams. They state that those specific teams do not need to play in the first round

Answer 2

Given:

Number of teams participating in tournament = 13

To find:

The number of byes =? (or) Number of teams that will get bye=?

Solution.

Byes are given in the sports tournament when there is mainly an odd number of teams participating in the event.

The teams that get a bye in the first round are exempted from that round and get a chance to directly play for the second round.

The formula to calculate a number of a bye in the first round is:

=> Number of byes = Result of next highest power of 2 - Number of participating teams

=> Result of the next highest power of 2 after 13 = 16  =2⁴ (2× 2× 2× 2)

=> Number of byes = 16 - 13

=> Number of byes = 3

Hence, 3 byes will be given in the first round of this tournament and the other 10 teams will compete in the first round itself.
