Calculation for 16 teams

With 16 teams there are 120 ties, as each pair meets exactly once. Each tie consists of 4 individual matches: 120 × 4 = 480 matches, spread across 15 matchdays.

Team competition with 16 teams: tie structure

With 16 teams the competition runs as a league – everyone against everyone over 15 matchdays. That gives 120 team ties with 4 single matches each (worked example: four members per team). Over the whole tournament that makes 480 individual matches. Example of one tie: A1 beats B1, B2 beats A2, A3 beats B3 and A4 beats B4 – the team result is 3:1, because the individual matches won are what counts. The table then calculates the points using the chosen scoring (default 3-1-0); at 2:2 the tie is a draw.
