Question

Draw a knock out fixture for 25 teams with all steps involved.

Answer 1

A tournament is a large competition conducted in several rounds among different teams. It is organised in a particular activity according to a fixed schedule, and a winner is declared at the end.

Total Number of teams = 25

Total Number of matches = 25 – 1 = 24

Number of teams in upper half = `("N"+1)/2`

= `(25+1)/2`

= 13 teams

Number of teams in lower half = `("N"-1)/2`

= `(25-1)/2`

= 12 teams

Total number of byes is = 32 – 25 = 7 byes

Number of byes in upper half = `("NB"-1)/2`

= `(7-1)/2`

= 3 byes

Number of byes m lower half = `("NB"+1)/2`

= `(7+1)/2`

= 4 byes

Number of rounds = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 5 Rounds
