If you had 5,623 participants in a tournament, how many games would need to be played to determine the winner
According to me if Tournament strategy is is used then i think its ok... After each round, you would have half the number that started the previous round; except if it were an odd number it would he half + 1. So 13 rounds. 2812 1 1406 2 703 3 352 4 176 5 88 6 44 7 22 8 11 9 6 10 3 11 2 12 1 13 Correct me if i am wrong Some Discussion Needed..???
