Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a knockout tournament, if there are 16 teams, how many matches are required to determine the winner?
  • Step 1: Understand that in a knockout tournament, one team is eliminated in each match.
  • Step 2: Start with 16 teams. To find a winner, all teams except one must be eliminated.
  • Step 3: Since there are 16 teams, we need to eliminate 15 teams to have one winner.
  • Step 4: Each match eliminates one team, so the number of matches needed is equal to the number of teams eliminated.
  • Step 5: Therefore, to eliminate 15 teams, we need 15 matches.
