I want to organize a company 16 billiards competition. The company has a pool table. Would you like to know how to divide it into groups fairly and interestingly? . . What kind of competition should be adopted? The competition is divided into two stages by combining single cycle with elimination system.

1. In the first stage, all 16 players will be divided into 4 groups for single round robin. The first and second place in the small group directly advanced to the second stage of the competition, using two wins in three games.

2. In the second stage, draw lots for elimination again until the ranking is decided. The competition system adopts three wins in five games, four wins in seven games and five wins in nine games, and so on.

This game should be very enjoyable and interesting.
