How to read the sheet

Matches are numbered in a playing order. Each slot says who plays there: a seed, or the winner or loser of an earlier match. Under each match, the sheet says where its winner and its loser go next. Write the names beside the seeds and the scores in the boxes.

Byes

32 players fill the bracket exactly, so there are no byes and every player plays in round 1.

How many matches

Every player except the champion loses twice, so 32 players means 2 × 31 = 62 losses, one in each match. If the player from the losers’ side wins the grand final, the other finalist has a first loss too, and one more match decides the title: 63 matches.
