Question

I am trying to determine how many tournaments in total I need to schedule of a team. If each player needs to be in a minimum of 8 events, and we will use 12 players per event, what equation would give me the answer depending on the variable of total players which could be 16, or 18, etc...

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of matches, subtract one from the total number of participants. For example if you have 8 participants/teams taking part, simply 8-1=7, therefore there will be 7 total matches to determine a champion.
