Answer 1

Byes are most commonly used in tournaments. In single-elimination tournaments with an odd number of competitors, a bye allows one or more to compete in a next round. Other sorts of eliminator competitions may also include a bye for various reasons. As an example, a reward could be given to the top-ranked team. Byes are only awarded in the first round of the event.
