Set your current code aside, and just make a program that counts games
without actually playing them. Start with this part of your existing
code:

numberofgames=1
while numberofgames<4:
    numberofgames=numberofgames+2

That will run, but do nothing. Now add a print call to the loop, and
see if you can work out how to make it count how many games are left.

If you get stuck, post the code for just this program and we'll see
where it takes us!
