15-team double elimination bracket questions

Which seeds get a bye with 15 teams?

Seed 1 skips winners round 1, which leaves 7 games in it. The byes carry into the other bracket too: losers round 1 has just 3 games.

How many games can one team play in a 15-team double elimination bracket?

From 2 to 9. A team that loses its first two games is out after two; the longest run is 9 games, for a team that drops early, wins its way through the losers bracket and then takes the grand final and the rematch.

When is game 29, the if-necessary final, played?

Only when the losers-bracket team wins game 28, the grand final. The winners-bracket champion then has its first loss too, so game 29 decides the 15-team title. If the winners-bracket team wins game 28, the tournament ends there.
