7-team single elimination bracket questions

Single or double elimination for 7 teams?

Single elimination needs 6 games. Double elimination needs 12 or 13, and every team plays at least twice. A round robin would take 21 games, with 6 for every team.

Who could seed 1 face in a 7-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 7-team single elimination bracket?

6: 3 in round 1, 2 semifinals and the final. Each game sends one team home, and 6 of the 7 teams have to lose once to leave a champion.
