5-team single elimination bracket questions
Who could seed 1 face in a 5-team bracket?
If the higher seed wins every game, seed 1 skips round 1 with a bye, then meets 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 5-team single elimination bracket?
4: 1 in round 1, 2 semifinals and the final. Each game sends one team home, and 4 of the 5 teams have to lose once to leave a champion.
Which seeds get a bye with 5 teams?
Seeds 1 to 3. The bracket is drawn for 8 teams, so 3 first-round spots stay empty and go to the top of the seeding. Seed 1's first game is against the winner of 4 vs 5.
