Question

Draw a fixture of Single League Tournament with 7 teams using Cyclic Method.

Answer 1

For 7 teams, a Bye is fixed and the other teams are rotated.

\[ \text{Number of matches} =\frac{7(7-1)}{2}=21 \]

Round	Matches
I	2–7, 3–6, 4–5, 1–Bye
II	1–7, 2–5, 3–4, 6–Bye
III	1–6, 7–5, 2–3, 4–Bye
IV	1–5, 6–4, 7–2, 3–Bye
V	1–4, 5–3, 6–2, 7–Bye
VI	1–3, 4–2, 5–7, 6–Bye
VII	1–2, 3–7, 4–6, 5–Bye

There are 7 rounds because the number of teams is odd.
