Example: N = 6
G = 6-1 = 5
After knowing the number of games to be played, the next step is to
determine the number of teams to play in the first round of the
tournament. To avoid having an uneven number of teams in the second
round of the tournament, the number of byes in the first round must be
determined first. A bye entitles a team to advance to the next round
without playing . to do this, the number of teams is subtracted from the
power of two( 2,4,8, 16, 32 etc)Which is immediately higher than the
number of teams:
Formula : Bye = P2 - N
Where P – least power of 2 higher than N
N – number of entries
Example: 6 - number of entry teams
8 – least power of 2 higher than N
Bye = 8 – 6
Bye = 2 ( number of byes)

On Failure
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. ...
"I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me. Failure always
made me try harder next time."
