Tournaments Overview

Tournaments are competitive events among teams in a specific sport, structured to determine a winner.
The four main types of tournaments are knock-out, league (round-robin), combination, and challenge tournaments.

Round-Robin and League Tournaments

Round-robin: Each team plays against every other team regardless of the outcome.
League Tournament Types:
- Single League: Each team plays every other team once. The number of matches is calculated using the formula:
  - Matches = (\frac{N(N - 1)}{2})
  - Example: 8 teams play 28 matches.
- Double League: Each team plays every other team twice. The number of matches is determined by:
  - Matches = (N(N - 1))
  - Example: 8 teams play 56 matches.

Combination Tournaments

Utilized for larger groups or teams from different regions.
Teams are divided into groups, competing within the group via knock-out or league formats.
Group winners then compete to decide the tournament champion.
Examples include the CAF Cup and FIFA World Cup.

Challenge Tournaments

Involve levels for teams where winners advance and losers are demoted.
Emphasizes the importance of winning to achieve higher standings.

Knock-Out or Elimination Tournaments

A team is eliminated upon losing, either once or twice, depending on the type.
- Single Knock-Out: Eliminated after one loss.
- Double Knock-Out: Eliminated after two losses.
This format is fast but may eliminate strong teams early.

Bye in Tournaments

A bye allows a team to skip the first round, necessary when the number of teams isn't a power of two.
It equalizes the teams to a power of two for subsequent rounds.
Example Calculation:
- For 15 teams, the next power of two is 16. Thus, 1 bye is granted.
