How Does a 19 Team Single Elimination Tournament Work?

A single elimination (knockout) tournament with 19 would consist of 5 rounds and a total of 18 games.

Bracket Size

The bracket size is determined by rounding the number of teams up to the nearest power of two. Since this tournament has 17 participants, the bracket size will be 32.

Byes

To determine the number of byes, you subtract the number of actual teams from the full bracket size. With 19 teams placed into a 32-team bracket, this results in 13 byes in the opening round.

Rounds & Games

A 19 team single elimination tournament includes 5 rounds and 18 total games:

• Round of 32: 3 actual games and 13 byes
• Round of 16: 8 matchups featuring the remaining 16 teams
• Quarterfinals: 4 games with the top 8 teams
• Semifinals: 2 games between the final 4 teams
• Final: 1 match to decide the winner

Seeding

Choose one of the following options:

• Seeded (most common): The top-seeded competitors meet each other in the later rounds of the tournament.
• Random (or blind draw): No seeding, and players are placed randomly in the first round.
• Manual seeding: Build the matchups in any custom order you prefer.

Compared to other Tournament Formats

A 19 team single elimination format offers a streamlined tournament structure, requiring fewer games and less time to complete than many alternative formats with the same number of participants.
