Number of teams in tournament = 8 teams

Type of tournament = League tournament

To find:

A number of matches that will be played in the tournament =?

Solution:

In a league tournament, every team gets a chance to play against every other team.

The number of matches is calculated as below:

Let N be the number of teams

N = 8 teams

Number of matches = $\frac{N (N - 1)}{2}$

Number of matches = $\frac{8 (8 - 1)}{2}$

Number of matches = $\frac{8 (7)}{2}$

Number of matches = $\frac{56}{2}$

Number of matches = 28

Hence, a total of 28 matches will be played in this league tournament.
