How the 17-team bracket is laid out
17 teams leave 15 empty slots in the first round. Seeds 1 to 15 get the byes and start in round 2.
First-round games: 16 v 17, 8 v 9, 4 v 13, 5 v 12, 2 v 15, 7 v 10, 3 v 14, 6 v 11.
The champion plays 4 or 5 games. At 30 minutes a game the whole bracket takes about 8 hours on one court.
Third place
Switch on the third-place game to add one more game between the two semifinal losers, for 17 in all.
If one loss feels too harsh
The 17-team double elimination bracket gives every team a second chance and takes 32 games.
