Describe the method of preparing fixture …

Tournament is a large contest of many rounds among various teams. It is a competition held among various teams in a particular activity according to a fixed schedule where a winner is decided.
Number of teams participating are 27.
Number of matches = n – 1 = 27 – 1 = 26 matches.
Teams in upper half = $\frac{{n + 1}}{2} = \frac{{27 + 1}}{2} = \frac{{28}}{2}$
Teams in lower half = $\frac{{n - 1}}{2} = \frac{{27 - 1}}{2} = \frac{{26}}{2}$ = 13 teams
Number of teams participating are odd so number of byes will be = 32 – 27 = 5 byes.
In Knockout system the team which loses the match is eliminated and the winners continue to play. When we have less time usually we conduct single elimination tournament.
Date/time and court number, is specified for each match so that teams/players report for their matches well in advance.
