{'many matches': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'league matches': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'teams': [0, 0, 4, 6], 'team': [0, 0, 4, 1], 'other team': [0, 0, 2, 0]}
If there are 14 teams in the tournament, each team will play against every other team once.
To calculate the number of matches played, we can use the formula:
total number of matches = n(n-1)/2
where n is the number of teams.
Substituting n = 14, we get:
total number of matches = 14(14-1)/2
= 14(13)/2
= 91
Therefore, a total of 91 matches will be played in the tournament.
