How a 26-team bracket is seeded

26 teams leave 6 empty slots in the first round. Seeds 1 to 6 get the byes and start in round 2.

First-round games: 16 v 17, 8 v 25, 9 v 24, 13 v 20, 12 v 21, 15 v 18, 7 v 26, 10 v 23, 14 v 19, 11 v 22.

Seeds are placed so that 1 and 2 can only meet in the final. Enter the names strongest first, or press shuffle for a random draw.
