- 1Rounds = ceil(log₂(number of teams))
- 2Total games = number of teams − 1 (one team is eliminated per game)
- 3Byes = 2^rounds − number of teams (given to top seeds in round 1)
- 4A 16-team bracket has exactly 4 rounds and 15 games
8 teams=3 rounds, 7 games, 0 byes
16 teams=4 rounds, 15 games, 0 byes
12 teams=4 rounds, 11 games, 4 byes (for top 4 seeds)
