No byes. Total matches = 31.

How this was calculated

  1. Total Number of Matches = Number of teams − 1 (not including third place match)

    Total Number of Matches = 32 − 1

    = 31

  2. Number of teams ÷ 2 = Teams in Upper Half or Lower Half

    32 ÷ 2

    = 16

  3. Byes = next power of 2 − number of teams participating

    Byes = 32 − 32 (32 is a power of 2, so there are no byes)

    = 0

  4. Rounds = number of times 2 is multiplied to get the next power of 2

    32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

    = 5

    Note: Not a textbook formula — worked out from the textbook illustrations (4 teams → 2 rounds, 8 → 3, 11 → 4)

How the 32 team fixture is drawn

Upper half and lower half

32 is even, so each half gets 32 ÷ 2 = 16 teams: Teams 1–16 in the upper half and Teams 17–32 in the lower half.

Byes

32 is a power of 2, so byes = 32 − 32 = 0. There are no byes and all 32 teams play Round I. Round I has 16 matches.

Round I and total matches

All 32 teams play Round I in 16 matches:

  • Match 1: Team 1 vs Team 2
  • Match 2: Team 3 vs Team 4
  • Match 3: Team 5 vs Team 6
  • Match 4: Team 7 vs Team 8
  • Match 5: Team 9 vs Team 10
  • Match 6: Team 11 vs Team 12
  • Match 7: Team 13 vs Team 14
  • Match 8: Team 15 vs Team 16
  • Match 9: Team 17 vs Team 18
  • Match 10: Team 19 vs Team 20
  • Match 11: Team 21 vs Team 22
  • Match 12: Team 23 vs Team 24
  • Match 13: Team 25 vs Team 26
  • Match 14: Team 27 vs Team 28
  • Match 15: Team 29 vs Team 30
  • Match 16: Team 31 vs Team 32

Total number of matches = number of teams − 1 = 32 − 1 = 31 (not including a third-place match). There are 5 rounds, because 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 — worked out from the textbook illustrations, not a textbook formula.
