AIMCAT 0911

64 players, seeded from 1 to 64, took part in a tennis tournament. The matches in the tournament are conducted in six knockout rounds first round, second round, pre-quarter finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals. In any match in any round, the winner of the match advances to the next round, while the loser gets eliminated from the tournament.

The draw of matches for the six rounds is as follows:


In the first round, match no.1 is between the highest seeded player (i.e.,seed 1) and the lowest seeded player (i.e., seed 64) and match no 2 is between, the second highest seeded player (i.e., seed 2) and the second lowest seeded player (i.e.,seed 63), and so on, upto match no.32 between seed 32 and seed 33.

In the second round, match no. 1 is between the winner of the first match (i.e.,match no.1) of the first round and the winner of the last match (i.e.,match no.32) of the first round and match no.2 is between the winner of the second match (i.e.,match no.2)of the first round and the second match from the last (i.e.,match no.31)of the first round, and so on upto match no 16. An exactly similar pattern is followed for the matches in all the later rounds as well. The winner of the finals is said to have won the tournament, while the loser is said to be the runner-up. An upset is said to have taken place if, in any match in any round, a lower seeded player beats a higher seeded player. 6.
