Respuesta :

The number of matches that will be played altogether during this year’s Squareball World Cup tournament will be 99 matches.

  • In the first stage of the tournament since the teams will compete in four groups of six, then there'll be 15 matches played per group.

  • Since there are 4 groups, the total matches okayed during the group stage will be: 15 × 4 = 60 matches. Therefore, 60 matches will be played during the group stage.

  • Since the top two teams from each group will progress to the second stage, and play in a single league, then the number of matches played will be 28 matches.

  • In the final, there'll only be one match played.

Therefore, the total matches played will be: = 60 + 28 + 1 = 99 matches.
