Best Pairing Strategy (Posted on 2024-12-15) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Each team has three players ranked 1 through 3, where the player ranked 1 is the strongest player of the three, and rank 3 is the weakest. In the tournament, each player from one team is paired against one player from the opponent in a head-to-head match. If a player’s ranking is A and his opponent’s ranking is B, then the first player’s probability of winning the match is B ÷ (A + B).

The Nets win the coin toss, which gives them the privilege of determining the pairings.

What is the Nets best pairing strategy, and using that strategy, what is their probability of winning the tournament by winning a majority of the matches?
