## Frequently Asked Questions

### How many rounds does an 8 team bracket have?

Three. Four quarter-finals narrow the field to four, two semi-finals leave two, and the final crowns the champion.

### How many total matches will be played?

Seven. Every contestant except the champion loses exactly once, so an eight entry bracket always runs seven matches.

### Can I seed the eight teams myself?

Yes. Use manual mode and drag contestants into the exact draw order you want before starting.

### Is eight the best size for a bracket?

It is the most common because it is a clean power of two and finishes quickly. Any list size works, and the bracket adds byes as needed.
