How the 12-team bracket is laid out
12 teams leave 4 empty slots in the first round. Seeds 1 to 4 get the byes and start in round 2.
First-round games: 8 v 9, 5 v 12, 7 v 10, 6 v 11.
The champion plays 3 or 4 games. At 30 minutes a game the whole bracket takes about 5 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 12 in all.
If one loss feels too harsh
The 12-team double elimination bracket gives every team a second chance and takes 22 games.
