A 32 team bracket runs five rounds and 31 games, with 16 teams on each side of the sheet and the final in the middle. It’s the size of many club championships, esports cups and big school events, and the point where seeding starts to matter a lot: a bad draw can put two favourites in the same quarter.
Seeding at 32
The draw pairs seeds so they add up to 33. The first few games of the top half read 1 v 32, 16 v 17, 8 v 25, 9 v 24, 4 v 29, 13 v 20, 5 v 28 and 12 v 21. Seeds 1 to 8 each lead their own block of four teams, so none of them can meet before round 3.
Picking 31 games
On a wide screen, scroll the bracket sideways or use Full screen to see every round. On a phone, Round by round lists the 16 first-round games as big buttons; when a round is done, the Next button jumps to the following one. The counter on each round tab shows how many of its games you’ve picked.
Using regions
For a pool or a large event it can help to tick Split into 4 regions: the first 8 names form region 1, the next 8 region 2 and so on, each seeded on its own, with the four region winners meeting in the semifinals. Name the regions (North, South, Pool A…) or leave them empty to write in on the printout.
Printing tips
The 32 team PDF fills one landscape page, so print at 100% (not “fit to page”) to keep the boxes as large as possible.
