whaaa of course 1 winner, then there are 99 losers, with a 99 matches.
round 1 ==> have 50 matches to produce 50 winners
round 2 ==> would have 25 matches to produce 25 winners
round 3 ==> would have 12 matches to produce 12 winners
(1 person of the 25 winners would have to wait until later to play again) round 4 ==> would have 6 matches to produce 6 winners
round 5 ==> would have 3 matches to produce 3 winners
round 6 ==> would have 2 matches
(player left out before would now play to make it an even field )
to produce 2 winners, these 2 would play for the championship.
===> 50+25+12+6+3+2+1=99 thumbs up
