How the 11-team bracket is laid out

11 teams leave 5 empty slots in the first round. Seeds 1 to 5 get the byes and start in round 2.

First-round games: 8 v 9, 7 v 10, 6 v 11, 4 v 5.

The winners bracket has 4 rounds and the losers bracket 5. Play the games in number order and no team is ever waiting on a result that has not happened yet.

The grand final

The winners-bracket champion has not lost; the losers-bracket champion has lost once. If the unbeaten team wins the grand final, the tournament ends after 20 games. If it loses, both have one loss and game 21 decides it. To finish after one grand final whatever happens, switch the second final off.

How long it takes

At 30 minutes a game, 20 games take about 10 hours on one court. The two brackets can be played side by side, so a second court cuts that roughly in half.

Short on time? The 11-team single elimination bracket takes 10 games.
