12 How do teams draw lots?

According to the arrangement of 16 contestants, there is a bye position every quarter, and 1, 8, 9, 16 is the first round bye position (if there are four seed players, arrange these seed players at 1, 8, 9, 16 positions).

Just take away the four signs 2, 7, 10 and 15 before drawing lots. The rest of the players just draw lots to set their positions. In addition, you can draw the elimination and promotion table of 16 people on a large piece of white paper.

Rules:

Usually, the number of participants in the knockout is a multiple of 2. For example, Wimbledon's singles event has 128 players, which can ensure that opponents in each round have the same number of matches. Matching can be arranged in advance or decided after each round of competition. If there is no bye, half of the players will be eliminated in each round.

When there are eight players left, this round is called "quarter-finals" and the next four players are "semi-finals". The winners will meet in the "final" or championship to decide the reputation of the champion.

Bypass: When the number of participants in the knockout is not two squared, some players are allowed to "bye" and automatically enter the next round. Usually, the priority bye will be given to the player with higher ranking in the competition. For example, teams from the British Championship and the Premier League can directly participate in the third round of the FA Cup.
