A certain number of players participated in a tournament, played according to the following rules. The number of players at any stage is denoted as N.
(i) if N is even, the players are grouped into N/2 pairs.The players in every pair play against each other.The resulting winners move on to the next round.
(ii) If N is odd one player is allowed to move on to the next round. He is said to be given a bye. The remaining N - 1 players are grouped in to (N-1)/2 pairs who play against each other. The resulting winners move on to the next round. The players who lose are eliminated from the tournament. From the rules above, it follows that if there are N players in a round, then N/2 players move on to the next round if N is even and (N-1)/2 players move on to the next round if N is odd.This process continues until the final round,which is played between two players. The winner in this round is the champion.
