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.

In a double elimination tournament format, teams or players have two chances to stay in the competition. If they lose a match, they move to a separate bracket called the loser's bracket. They can still compete in the tournament by winning matches in the loser's bracket, but if they lose a second time, they are eliminated from the tournament. The winner of the loser's bracket then faces the winner of the winner's bracket in the final match to determine the overall champion.
In a double elimination bracket, teams or players have to lose twice before they are eliminated from the tournament. Each team starts in the winners' bracket, and if they lose a match, they move to the losers' bracket. If they lose again in the losers' bracket, they are out of the tournament. The winner of the winners' bracket and the winner of the losers' bracket face off in the final match to determine the overall champion.

Tennis tournaments are organized competitions where players compete against each other to win matches and advance through rounds. Players must register for the tournament and meet certain eligibility requirements, such as ranking or age restrictions.

Players earn points and prize money based on their performance in the tournament.
In a professional tournament or high level amateur tournament, the starter will usually issue players with their cards and some course information, such as where the pins are cut. He will also give any rules of play such as if it is lift clean and place. They will also announce the players name and where they are from. In club tournaments they will simply determine the order of play and tell the players when they can hit.
In a double elimination bracket, teams or players have to lose twice before they are eliminated from the tournament. Each match consists of two rounds: the winners' bracket and the losers' bracket. If a team loses in the winners' bracket, they move to the losers' bracket for a second chance. If they lose again in the losers' bracket, they are out of the tournament. This format allows for a fairer competition and gives teams a chance to recover from a single loss.
