We are given 8 teams (objects) to arrange them in 3 places in different ways. We are asked to calculate the permutations of 8 different things taken 3 at a time. This will be given by : ^8P_3=\frac{8^{}!}{\left(8-3\right)!}=\frac{8!}{5!}

=8\times7\times6

=336 So, we can arrange the 8 teams in 336 different ways to 1st, 2nd and 3rd position.
