battles on the 1/32 sheet (12 teams) and 26 teams with a bye??
Also, why were there 26 teams that had a bye in the last
round...they were 1v1 fights first to 3 wins...not a group bracket
that they couldn't fill.dance210: 1. The schedule hasn't been updated for tonight's matches. That
will be done later today. 2. Let's say each matchup in the
bracket had a Side A and Side B. The tournament tools fills teams
in Side A, filling every spot. Then, it fills teams in to Side
B. If there were enough teams, all slots in Side B would be filled.
Because there wasn't enough, the tool could only fill some of the
empty slots. If the tool couldn't find a team to fill Side B, the
team on Side A was given a bye. So, why not make the
brackets smaller? Simple answer: it's not possible. When setting up
the playoff, there are specific sizes that it can be, to
narrow down to the Finals between 2 teams. The only options would
be to limit team size to fit within those brackets, or allow any
number of teams to join, knowing that some will have byes for the
first round. For the challenge, we allow any number of teams to
move forward, knowing that some will have byes. Does this
help explain why there were so many byes for the first round?
