There are 16 tennis players in a single elimination tournament. How many tennis mathches will be played during the tournment?will it be 8 or 2 if not..what?
To determine the number of matches in a single elimination tournament with 16 players, you can use the formula (n-1), where n represents the number of players.
In this case, with 16 players, we have:
Matches = (16-1) = 15 matches
Therefore, there will be 15 tennis matches played during the tournament, not 8 or 2.
Round 1 = 8 matches and 4 winners
Round 2 = 4 matches and 2 winners
Round 3 = 1 match and 1 winner
