How the 30-team bracket is laid out
30 teams leave 2 empty slots in the first round. Seeds 1 to 2 get the byes and start in round 2.
First-round games: 16 v 17, 8 v 25, 9 v 24, 4 v 29, 13 v 20, 5 v 28, 12 v 21, 15 v 18, 7 v 26, 10 v 23, 3 v 30, 14 v 19, 6 v 27, 11 v 22.
The champion plays 4 or 5 games. At 30 minutes a game the whole bracket takes about 14 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 30 in all.
If one loss feels too harsh
The 30-team double elimination bracket gives every team a second chance and takes 58 games.
