Answer:
Explanation:
Formula is used to find out the number of matches in a double league tournament
N=(cx2)-2 can be used to calculate the number of matches. For instance, 17 players or teams times 2 equals 34 matches, minus 2, which equals 32. If the loser bracket player or team advances to the final and defeats the winner bracket player or team twice, there may be 33 matches.
Formula to find the number of matches in league tournament:
Use the formula N x (N-1)/2 to get the number of games in a single round robin tournament as shown above. The math would be 6 x (6-1)/2 = 6 x 5/2 = 30/2 = 15 games for a tournament with 6 teams.
Formula is used to determine how many games will be played in a knockout tournament:
S = n - 1 is the number of games in a knockout competition.
To determine the total number of matches in a knockout competition, simply multiply the number of teams by 1.
