A sports conference has 14 teams in two divisions of 7. how many games are in a complete season for the conference if each team must play every other team in its own division twice and every team in the other division once?
Number of teams = 14 teams Number of divisions = 2 Number of teams in each division = 7
Then; Total number of pairings = 7C2 = 21 These games happens twice and the same happens on the other division. Within the same division, Number of games = 4*21 = 84 games And number of games between the two divisions = 7*7 = 49
Total number of games for the conference = 84+49 = 133 games.
