How the 8-team bracket is laid out
8 is a power of two, so the bracket is full: nobody gets a bye.
First-round games: 1 v 8, 4 v 5, 2 v 7, 3 v 6.
The champion plays 3 games. At 30 minutes a game the whole bracket takes about 3 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 8 in all.
If one loss feels too harsh
The 8-team double elimination bracket gives every team a second chance and takes 14 games.
