In the context of computer simulations and technology-based games, which of the following is the most appropriate method to manage a tournament with an odd number of teams?
- Use a single-elimination format with a preliminary round to ensure an even number of teams.
- Conduct a round-robin format where each team plays against every other team.
- Implement a double-elimination format with an additional team randomly given a bye in each round.
- Use a knockout system where one team automatically advances to the next round each time due to the odd number of teams.
