Formulas for Single Elimination Tournaments:
with N= total number of entries, you can use the following formulas:
Number of games = N-1 13-1 = 12 games
Number of 2 - number of times 2 has to
be multiplied to equal or exceed the number
of entries
2x2 = 4
2x2x2 = 8
2x2x2x2 = 16
2x2x2x2x2 = 32
Number of Byes = Next Highest Power of 2 - N 16-13 = 3 byes
Number of Rounds = the power to which 2 must be raised
2x2x2x2 = 4 rounds
to equal or exceed "N"
Number of first round games = N- (next lowest power of 2)
13-8 = 5 first round games
