How the 20-team bracket is laid out
20 teams leave 12 empty slots in the first round. Seeds 1 to 12 get the byes and start in round 2.
First-round games: 16 v 17, 13 v 20, 15 v 18, 14 v 19, 8 v 9, 5 v 12, 7 v 10, 6 v 11.
The champion plays 4 or 5 games. At 30 minutes a game the whole bracket takes about 9 h 30 min on one court.
Third place
Switch on the third-place game to add one more game between the two semifinal losers, for 20 in all.
If one loss feels too harsh
The 20-team double elimination bracket gives every team a second chance and takes 38 games.
