Problem D
Knockout Tournament
Laura is organising a knockout tournament, in which her friend Dale takes part. Laura would like to maximise the probability of Dale winning the tournament by arranging the games in a favourable way. She does not know how to do it, so she asked you for help. Naturally, you refuse to cooperate with such a deplorable act—but then you realise that it is a very nice puzzle!
When the number of players is a power of two, the tournament setup can be described recursively as follows: the players are divided into two equal groups that each play their own knockout tournament, after which the winners of both tournaments play each other. Once a player loses, they are out of the tournament.
When the number of players is not a power of two, some of the last players in the starting line-up advance from the first round automatically so that in the second round the number of players left is a power of two, as shown in Figure 1.
