Question

There are 29 teams in a cricket tournament. The main condition of contest is "knock-out." How many matches will take place in the whole tournament?

Answer 1

In a knock-out tournament, each match results in one team being eliminated. To determine the total number of matches played, you need to eliminate all but one team from the tournament.

Given that there are 29 teams, you need to eliminate 28 teams. Since each match eliminates exactly one team, the total number of matches needed is 28.

Thus, the total number of matches that will take place in the tournament is **28**.
