10 games

From concerned reader: if I am reading the question correctly, the answer of 10 games submitted is not accurate. However, let me clarify the question first. I believe that we are asking how many games must be played in total to determine one, and only one, winner of the entire tournament. Given that this is the correct interpretation of the question, the correct answer is that 19 games must be played to determine a singular winner of the tournament.

Players or team are paired, 1 to 1, but with an odd number in any round, a player has no one to play. This player gets advanced to the next round as if he/she had a win, and this is called a "bye". The play should be arranged such that no player or team gets more than one bye.
