How the 32-team bracket is laid out
32 is a power of two, so the bracket is full: nobody gets a bye.
First-round games: 1 v 32, 16 v 17, 8 v 25, 9 v 24, 4 v 29, 13 v 20, 5 v 28, 12 v 21, 2 v 31, 15 v 18, 7 v 26, 10 v 23, 3 v 30, 14 v 19, 6 v 27, 11 v 22.
The champion plays 5 games. At 30 minutes a game the whole bracket takes about 15 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 32 in all.
If one loss feels too harsh
The 32-team double elimination bracket gives every team a second chance and takes 62 games.
