Logistically speaking, it's difficult to do a double elim with a # of people that isn't an easy power of 4. The online system I used to generate it told me to put in 11 byes, but I thought that was a bit bonkers, since it means half the people do nothing round 1.
Instead, there will be 3 byes (4 if you count the team facing an NPC squad in round one, but who knows, they might fuck up)
The byes are as follows.
In the 2nd round (Winners Bracket), the top scoring team from Round 1 (raw score) will receive a Bye.
In the 4rd (Winners Bracket), the team with the highest Margin of Victory in their Round 3 match up will receive a Bye.
The team eliminated in the single match of the 4th round winner's bracket (the other team will be on bye) will receive a Bye from their first Loser's Bracket match (their first match up would be the quarter final of the Loser Bracket).
I hope this makes sense. I will try and draw up a visual later tonight or when I'm at work tomorrow.
