How the 22-team bracket is laid out
22 teams leave 10 empty slots in the first round. Seeds 1 to 10 get the byes and start in round 2.
First-round games: 16 v 17, 13 v 20, 12 v 21, 15 v 18, 14 v 19, 11 v 22, 8 v 9, 7 v 10.
The champion plays 4 or 5 games. At 30 minutes a game the whole bracket takes about 10 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 22 in all.
If one loss feels too harsh
The 22-team double elimination bracket gives every team a second chance and takes 42 games.
