League tournament

Introduction

In a League tournament, all teams face each other. The total number of matches follows the round-robin formula $t*(t-1)/2$, where $t$ is the number of teams.

Match example

For a 4-team league, one possible fight order is:

Fight Pairing
1 Team 1 vs Team 2
2 Team 3 vs Team 2
3 Team 3 vs Team 4
4 Team 1 vs Team 4
5 Team 1 vs Team 3
6 Team 2 vs Team 4

This sequence contains the 6 required matches for 4 teams.

Options

The initial team to be selected for the match will be the first one out. In a league consisting of three teams, if this option is not chosen, the matches will proceed in the following sequence: team1 vs. team2, team3 vs. team2, and team3 vs. team1, with team2 remaining after the initial match. Opting for this selection will result in team1 remaining on the shiaijo, leading to matches as follows: team1 vs. team2, team1 vs. team3, and then finally, team2 vs. team3.
