The equation to use here is 3^x = 81. You could start to try numbers, and you would realize that x = 4 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function we have is

f (x) = 3ˣ

If there are 81 players, this gives us

81 = 3ˣ

81 = 9 (9) = 3 (3) (3) (3); this gives us

3 (3) (3) (3) = 3ˣ

This means x = 4
