14-team single elimination bracket questions
Single or double elimination for 14 teams?
Single elimination needs 13 games. Double elimination needs 26 or 27, and every team plays at least twice. A round robin would take 91 games, with 13 for every team.
Who could seed 1 face in a 14-team bracket?
If the higher seed wins every game, seed 1 skips round 1 with a bye, then meets seed 8 in the quarterfinals, seed 4 in the semifinals and seed 2 in the final. Seed 2 starts in the other half, so the top two seeds can only meet in the final.
How many games are in a 14-team single elimination bracket?
13: 6 in round 1, 4 quarterfinals, 2 semifinals and the final. Each game sends one team home, and 13 of the 14 teams have to lose once to leave a champion.
