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