When the number of teams in the bracket is not a 'Power of 2' the highest seeds receive 'byes'. A seeded tournament is set up so that the highest ranked team plays the worst team, the second highest ranked team players the second lowest ranked team and so on. The number 1 ranked team goes on the blank line marked '1', the number 2 ranked team goes on the blank line marked '2' and so on. The numbers run from 1 to the number of teams participating in the tournament. The brackets are marked with numbers along the left hand side. If you use the brackets below the seeding's are very simple and are always done the same way. Once the number of players or teams has been decided you will need to print the corresponding tournament bracket from below. The tournament begins by determining the number of players or teams that will be participating in the tournament.
