Solution

In a round-robin tournament, each player plays every other player once. The formula to calculate the total number of games in a round-robin tournament is n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of players.

So, if there are 10 players, the total number of games they would need to play before each player has played every other player would be:

10(10-1)/2 = 10*9/2 = 45

So, the correct answer is 45.
