The question is asking how many ways can ten team be randomly assigned to 5 games. They can be randomly assigned in nPrC

r = n! / (n-r) ! ways.

So we have that 10 teams can be randomly assigned to five games in 10C5 ways.

10C5 = 10! / (10-5) ! = 10! / 5! = 30240 ways. So they can be arranged in 30240 ways.
