No byes. Total matches = 63.
How this was calculated
Total Number of Matches = Number of teams − 1 (not including third place match)
Total Number of Matches = 64 − 1
= 63
Number of teams ÷ 2 = Teams in Upper Half or Lower Half
64 ÷ 2
= 32
Byes = next power of 2 − number of teams participating
Byes = 64 − 64 (64 is a power of 2, so there are no byes)
= 0
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)
