Advent calendar 2022

21 December

In the annual tournament of Christmas puzzles, each player must play one puzzle match against each other player. Last year there were four entrants into the tournament (A, B, C, and D), and so 6 matches were played: A vs B, C vs D, A vs D, A vs C, D vs B, and finally B vs C.
This year, the tournament has grown in popularity and 22 players have entered. How many matches will be played this year?
