  • Bye
  • Mi sobrinita de un año es una niña tan buena. Es muy activa y juguetona. Todas las personas de la cuadra la conocen porque agita su mano y les dice "Bye" a todos los que ve, los conozca o no los conozca. Es casi su marca personal. Era divertido, hasta que resultó contraproducente un día que fuimos a llevarle flores a la tumba de una tía mía: mientras íbamos saliendo del cementerio ella no dejaba de agitar su mano y decir "bye" en todas direcciones, aunque éramos la única familia en el cementerio.

  • Mary's credit card bill seems to have magically been paid off, and now Eric and Annie want to find out how. Desperate to protect their sister, the Camden kids do everything they can to keep the secret, but it is a disaster waiting to be revealed, and once it is, Eric and Annie decide that there's only one thing left to do. They make their final decision to send Mary away to live with her grandparents in Buffalo for her own good.
  • A bye, in sports and other competitive activities, most commonly refers to the practice of allowing a team to advance to the next round of a playoff tournament without playing. This is generally the result of having a number of entrants in the competition that is not a power of two (i.e., not 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.); any such tournament must eventually arrive, through elimination, at an odd number of participants at some point, thus necessitating the bye. In large tournaments, sometimes the best-ranked teams get a bye in the first round(s), to reward them with less risk of elimination.
  • A bye is a game mechanic used in tournaments. Because tournaments use a single-elimination bracket, tournaments are easy to run only if they have a number of players which is a power of 2: i.e. 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc. Having this exact number of players ensures that in each round, all players have somebody to compete against. It is unlikely that this exact number of players will enter, so "byes" are used to fill holes in the bracket.

  • A bye, in sports and other competitive activities, most commonly refers to the practice of allowing a team to advance to the next round of a playoff tournament without playing. This is generally the result of having a number of entrants in the competition that is not a power of two (i.e., not 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.); any such tournament must eventually arrive, through elimination, at an odd number of participants at some point, thus necessitating the bye. In large tournaments, sometimes the best-ranked teams get a bye in the first round(s), to reward them with less risk of elimination. In round-robin tournament competitions where there are an odd number of teams an odd number of competitors each round, usually just one, would get a bye. Thus during no round would all teams be able to play. However, by the completion of the tournament each team would have played the same number of games as well as having sat out for the same number of rounds during the tournament.
  • A bye is a game mechanic used in tournaments. Because tournaments use a single-elimination bracket, tournaments are easy to run only if they have a number of players which is a power of 2: i.e. 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc. Having this exact number of players ensures that in each round, all players have somebody to compete against. It is unlikely that this exact number of players will enter, so "byes" are used to fill holes in the bracket. A player gets a bye when there is simply no opponent for him or her to play that round. Getting a bye is considered fortunate for a player; he or she is guaranteed to advance to the next round. Sometimes many byes are granted in a particular round. The aim of the byes is to have the number of players be equal to a power of 2 in the next round. For example, in the bracket diagram shown above, you will notice that Yubaba and Whitevelvet both received byes (please note that the image is not of the complete tournament bracket). Tournaments are always set up so as to create a number of players equal to a power of 2 in the second round. In a seeded by rating tournament, byes are given to the highest-seeded players, who hold the highest puzzle standing in the respective puzzle when the tournament begins. Getting a bye and advancing to the second round of a tournament does not put players "in the money" for cascading tournaments. Players must win at least one match to be able to win money from tournaments, subject to the settings of the tournament.
