18 players ,how do i play byes?

Question

playing snooker matches, 18 people, who playes who for the byes?

Answer 1

Pull 2 names out of a hat, they have to play a qualifier. Pull another 2 to do the same. The 2 winners are then added to the remaining 14, that will give you 16 players. From here you simply draw 2 names at a time, to get firstly 8 games then 4 then 2 and the last game is the final.

Answer 2

BYES? but why in even # of players

19 whoever draws # 19 gets it  unless i dont understand your question
