There are 534 played games in total.
There are 24 teams, and each team plays 2 matches against each one of the other teams.
So, let's say that each team is called team 1, team 2, team 3, ..., team 24.
If we start with team 1, they will play 2 games with each one of the other 23 teams, so here we will have: 23*2 = 46 games.
Now we go to team 2, we already counted the 2 games that the played with team 1, so we only look at the remaining 22 teams, here we will have:
22*2 = 44 more games.
Now with team 3, there are 21 teams remaining, so here we add another 2*21 = 42 games
And so on, now we do that for all the teams and then add all the numbers of games, the total number of games will be given by:
N = 2*(23 + 22 + 21 + ... + 2 + 1) = 534
There are 534 played games in total.
