How the 25-team bracket is laid out

25 teams leave 7 empty slots in the first round. Seeds 1 to 7 get the byes and start in round 2.

First-round games: 16 v 17, 8 v 25, 9 v 24, 13 v 20, 12 v 21, 15 v 18, 10 v 23, 14 v 19, 11 v 22.

The champion plays 4 or 5 games. At 30 minutes a game the whole bracket takes about 12 hours on one court.

Third place

Switch on the third-place game to add one more game between the two semifinal losers, for 25 in all.

If one loss feels too harsh

The 25-team double elimination bracket gives every team a second chance and takes 48 games.
