How to Deal with a 24-Team Bracket?

A sports tournament with 24 teams might seem like a nice even number that’s easily divisible, but in action a tournament bracket with two dozen teams isn’t ideal in terms of running the smoothest tournament. That said, it’s not a huge problem.

As we’ve recommended before, we recommend capping participating teams at one of the following numbers: 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 teams. With these number of teams, so there’s no additional, potentially subjective, decisions in regards to seeding, etc. In a 24-team tournament field, we start with eight teams playing into the larger bracket. The winners of those play-in games will play the best eight seeds. Those remaning teams then play until there’s only one undefeated team left — the champion.

Seeded or Blind Draw 24 Team Bracket

With twenty-four teams in your bracket, you’ll seed with this logic: the highest seed will play the lowest seed on both sides of the bracket. Unfortunately, it’s not as clean with 24 teams. With 24 teams, there’s eight play-in games between the 16 lowest seeds in the bracket. That means the top eight seeds in the bracket will get a bye.

We created this easy look to advise you how to accurately seed your 24 team bracket:
