B. League: In single league tournament all participating teams compete once, with each other, whereas in the double league, each team plays with every as in the double league, each team plays with every other team twice, without any consideration of victory or defeat.

C. Combination Tournaments: Combination tournaments are organized in the group or zonal matches. Whenever there is a large number of teams, combination tournaments facilitate the Physical Education Teachers, job. It gives them elbow room to try out new experiments.

There are mainly four types of combination tournaments:
(a) Knock out cum Knock out
(b) League cum league
(c) Knock out cum league
(d) League cum Knock out

D. Challenge Tournament: This type of tournament comes handy when there are one to one contests or there are two players on each side. One player challenges the other and the other player accepts the challenge. Games in which such tournaments are held are - Boxing, Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton etc. Fixtures in such tournaments are decided according to :
(a) Ladder Method
(b) Physical Method
(c) Cobweb Method

Procedure to Draw Fixtures: Knock-Out League

PROCEDURE TO DRAW FIXTURES:-
A Knock-out Tournament:-
In this type of tournament, if a team is defeated once, it gets eliminated. Only the winners continue in the competition. It is the fastest method to know about the winning team in the tournament.

Seeding a Team:- The sorting of the teams and fitting them in the fixtures so that the stronger teams do not meet each other in earlier rounds are known as Seeding. This method is good if we know the real strong tarns. The organizers should find out the really strong teams from the previous tournaments or old records figure starting a new tournament.

Bye:- The advantage given to a team usually by drawing a lot, and exempting it from paying a match in the first round is known as Bye. These are given to a specific number of teams in the first round. The number of byes is decided by subtracting the number of teams from the next higher number which is in power of two’s.

Bye Next Higher No-no of Team [2n-no of teams]

Methods of Preparing Fixtures for Knock-out Tournaments:-
1. Total number of teams participating in the tournament
2. Total number of matches to be played in the tournament
The formula for calculating the number of matches=n-1, where n is the total number of teams participating in the tournament.
3. Total number of rounds played in the tournament depends upon two things:-
a. The number of teams playing in the tournament b
. The higher nearest number from the total number of teams of the power of two’s = 2n

4. Method of determining the number of teams in the upper half and lower half:-
a. If the number of teams is even, then the equal number of teams will be divided into both halves i.e.- n/2, where n is the total number of teams.
b. If the number of teams is odd, the following method is applied:
A number of teams in upper half=(n+1)/2, where n=number of tarns.
Number of teams in lower half=(n-1)/2, where n=number of teams
5. The number of byes is a knock-out tournament is decided by subtracting the total number of teams from the next higher nearest number in power of two’s

1.4B Method for the draw of the fixture in league tournament:-

(a) Stair-case Method: In the stair-case method, the fixtures are made just like a ladder or a stair- case. In this method, no bye is given to any team and there is no problem of even or odd number of teams.

Example: Draw a fixture of 9 teams on league basis according to stair-case
method.

Solution:

Fixture

(b) Cyclic Method: In the cyclic method, if the number of teams is even, the team number 1 is fixed on the top of the right-hand side and other teams in ascending order consecutively downward and then upward on the left side and rotate them clockwise. If the number of teams is odd, then bye is fixed on the top right side and the rest procedure remains the same. The number of rounds in case of even number of teams will be n -1, where n = number of teams. The number of rounds in case of the odd number of teams will be n, where n = number of teams.

Example 1. Draw a fixture of 6 teams on league basis according to the cyclic method.
Solution: Total number of teams = 6
