That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
In a basketball shootout tournament with 16 players, each round eliminates half of the players. In the first round, 16 players compete and 8 players advance. In the second round, 8 players compete and 4 players advance. In the third round, 4 players compete and 2 players advance. In the fourth and final round, the remaining 2 players compete and a winner is declared. Therefore, a total of 15 rounds must be completed before a winner is declared.
