Answer 2

Given:

Number of teams participating in the tournament = 7 teams

Type of tournament= League tournament

Method of fixture= Cyclic method

To find:

The number of Byes that will be given =?

Solution:

=> In a cyclic league, a tournament bye is given to teams when the number of teams is an odd number.

=> 7 is an odd number.

∴ Bye will be calculated as follows:

=> Number of Byes = Next highest power of 2 - Number of teams

=> Number of Byes = (2)³ - 7

=> Number of Byes = 8 - 7

=> Number of Bye = 1

Therefore, in each round one team will get a bye out of seven according to the cyclic league tournament fixture rule.
