A womens volley ball league has 23 teams What is the total number of games to be played if each team plays every other team twice?

Answer 1

In a league with 23 teams where each team plays every other team twice, the total number of games can be calculated using the formula for combinations. Each team plays 22 other teams, and since each matchup occurs twice, the total number of games is (23 \times 22 = 506). However, since each game is counted twice (once for each team), we divide by 2 to get the final total: (506 / 2 = 253) games. Thus, the total number of games to be played is 506.
