How the 19-team bracket is laid out
19 teams leave 13 empty slots in the first round. Seeds 1 to 13 get the byes and start in round 2.
First-round games: 16 v 17, 15 v 18, 14 v 19, 8 v 9, 4 v 13, 5 v 12, 7 v 10, 6 v 11.
The champion plays 4 or 5 games. At 30 minutes a game the whole bracket takes about 9 hours on one court.
Third place
Switch on the third-place game to add one more game between the two semifinal losers, for 19 in all.
If one loss feels too harsh
The 19-team double elimination bracket gives every team a second chance and takes 36 games.
