How to make a fixture on the basis of Knockout tournament and make the 17 teams fixture.

Hey guys,
Today's topic is How to make a fixture for the knockout tournament.

Essential points for knock out tournament are the following:
Prepare the fixtures for the knockout tournament is a significant step the following points must be reminded when you will make and preparing a fixture.
1. A Total number of teams participating.
2. Total Number of byes.
3. Numbers of teams in each half or quarters.
4. Numbers, of byes to be given in each half or quarter.
5. Total Number of rounds.
6. A Total number of matches.

Methods of preparing fixture in knock out tournament.

In a knockout tournament, the total number of matches can be calculated by subtracting 1 from the total number of teams.
          For example, If 17 teams are participating In the tournament then the number of total matches will be, 17-1=16,
This means that there will be only 16 matches that were played.
                                           These 17 teams are divided into halves, it is possible only when the number of teams in the power of 2 such as 2,4,8,16,32,64 etc it is very easy, to draw the fixture in such a case.

If the total number of teams is not the power of 2 what we will accomplish.

Suppose that we have teams that are participating in the tournament that are :- 3,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 etc.then byes are given.

What is the meaning of byes?

Byes mean that privilege given to a team generally by drawing lots exempting it from playing a match in the first round.

When shall be given byes?

In case when the team is not the power of two then a bye shall be given for example the following teams are participating in the tournament, the team such are:- 3,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 etc. Then we shall be given byes.

How many Byes will be given if 17 teams are participating in a tournament?

1. First of all calculate the total number of teams that are given us in the question so we have 17 teams.
2. Now calculate the next highest number of power two. The next highest number of power two is 32.
3. Now calculate the number of byes.

 Number of byes = Next highest number
                                 of power two - The
                                 total number of team
Number of byes= 32-17
                            = 15

The total number of byes = 15

Methods of calculating teams in each half.

If the number of teams is in the power of 2 it becomes easy to divide the teams into two halves.
              But if the number of teams is not in the power of 2 the following procedures are applied.

Upper Half = Total number of teams +1/2

Upper half = 17+1 /2
Upper half = 18/2
Upper Half = 9

The total number of teams in the upper half = 9

Lower Half = Total number of teams -1/2
Lower Half = 17-1/2
Lower Half = 16/2
Lower Half = 8

The total number of teams in the lower half = 8

Here we denoted the number of teams= N

The main problem is that How can be learned formula according to my you have to learn the simple way.
Upper means (+)
Lower means (-)

Methods of fixing byes.

The total number of teams (N) in the case of 17 teams from 1 to 17 is composed on plain paper, after then lots are drawn and the names of teams are written against their number. Then the total number of teams divided in each half after that bye are fixed in the upper half and lower halves in the following order.
1. The first bye is given to the last team of the lower half.
2. The second bye is given to the first team of the upper half.
3. The third bye is given to the first team of the lower half.
4. The fourth bye is given to the last team of the upper half.
5. And the next bye or byes will be given in the same order as described above.

If the total number of teams is 17 the following method is applied to the byes.
