We consider sports tournaments with $n \ge 4$ participating teams and where every pair of teams plays against one another at most one time. We call such a tournament [i]balanced [/i] if any four participating teams play exactly three matches between themselves. So, not all teams play against one another. Determine the largest value of $n$ for which a balanced tournament with $n$ teams exists.

$2024$ people attended a party. Eunson, the host of the party, wanted to make the participant shake hands in pairs. As a professional daydreamer, Eunsun wondered which would be greater: the number of ways each person could shake hands with $4$ others or the number of ways each person could shake hands with $3$ others. Solve Eunsun's peculiar question.
