Match Play Knockout Draw


If the number of competition entries does not exactly equal 64, 32, 16 or 8 etc, a simple formula can be applied to produce a workable draw with byes e.g. If there are 47 entries, this number is subtracted from the number from the sequence of multiples of 2 above, which is larger than the number of entries ( - in this example 64 to give the number of byes). Therefore 64-47 = 17 byes with the remaining 30 competitors producing 15 matches, whose winners will join the 15 byes to complete 32 players in the next round.
