Answer 2

Given:

Number of teams participating in the tournament = 17 teams

To find:

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

Solution:

• A knockout tournament is the one in which the defeated team is eliminated from the tournament.
• The fixture for the knockout tournament is prepared by dividing the teams into the upper and lower half and byes are given 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 = 2⁵ = 32

       Number of Bye = 32 - 17

       Number of Byes = 15 Byes

• It signifies that the two teams will play in the first round while the other 15 teams are given byes and will play directly in the second round of the event

• Hence, 15 teams will get byes out of 17 teams.
