Byes (no match in Round I): Team 1, Team 2, Team 29, Team 30, Team 57, Team 58. Total matches = 57.

How this was calculated

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

    Total Number of Matches = 58 − 1

    = 57

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

    58 ÷ 2

    = 29

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

    Byes = 64 − 58

    = 6

  4. Byes ÷ 2 in Upper Half and Lower Half

    6 ÷ 2

    = 3

  5. First bye to last team of Lower Half, second to first team of Upper Half, third to first team of Lower Half, fourth to last team of Upper Half; same pattern for remaining byes

    Byes in order go to teams 58, 1, 30, 29, 57, 2

    = 58, 1, 30, 29, 57, 2

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

    64 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

    = 6

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

How the 58 team fixture is drawn

Upper half and lower half

58 is even, so each half gets 58 ÷ 2 = 29 teams: Teams 1–29 in the upper half and Teams 30–58 in the lower half.

Byes

Byes = next power of 2 − number of teams = 64 − 58 = 6. 6 is even, so each half gets 6 ÷ 2 = 3 byes.

Which teams get the byes, and why

The textbook places byes in this order: the 1st bye to the last team of the lower half, the 2nd to the first team of the upper half, the 3rd to the first team of the lower half and the 4th to the last team of the upper half. The remaining byes follow the same pattern, moving inward. For 58 teams:

  1. Team 58 — last team of the lower half
  2. Team 1 — first team of the upper half
  3. Team 30 — first team of the lower half
  4. Team 29 — last team of the upper half
  5. Team 57 — 2nd-last team of the lower half
  6. Team 2 — 2nd team of the upper half

Teams with a bye do not play Round I. They go straight to Round II.
