20-team double elimination bracket questions

Who plays in winners round 1 with 20 teams?

13 vs 20, 14 vs 19, 15 vs 18 and 16 vs 17. Seeds 1 to 12 have byes. The losers of these games start the losers bracket, so nobody is out after round 1.

How many games are in a 20-team double elimination bracket?

38 or 39: 19 in the winners bracket, 18 in the losers bracket and the grand final. Every team but the champion loses twice, 38 losses in all; the extra game happens only if the champion lost once.

Which seeds get a bye with 20 teams?

Seeds 1 to 12 skip winners round 1, which leaves 4 games in it. The byes carry into the other bracket too: losers round 1 has no game at all, so the first teams to drop wait for the next round.
