Answer 2

Given:

• Number of teams participating in the tournament = 33 teams

To find:

• Number of Byes in the first round of knockout tournament=?

Solution:

• In a knockout tournament, the losing team is eliminated from the competition.  The schedule for the knockout competition is made by dividing the teams into upper and lower halves, with byes allocated according to the rules.

• Bye can be determined by the following way in the knockout tournament:

Formula: Number of Bye = Next highest power of 2 - Total teams

•       Next power of 2= 2×2×2×2×2×2 = 2⁶ = 64

•  Number of Bye = 64 - 33  

•       Number of Byes = 31 Byes

• It signifies that the two teams will play in the first round while the other 31 teams are given byes and will play directly in the second round of the event

Hence, 31 teams will get byes out of 33 teams.
