  For starter use

  4

  8

  16

  32

  64

  for entrants...widdles down easily without giving byes/etc..

  Do a web search for "google brackets"

  You can set it up multiplayer (two or 4 at a time) or even set up SP Tourney's in your CC, and use best score/etc...or compare cards for MP...use this method if you have members that have a tough time meeting up on line.

   

  Look under "Community Organized Tournaments" and follow some of the links to get you started.

  It pretty much depends on how many players you have in your tourney.  To make this as simple as possible, I'll use 8 players in my explanation.

  In a single-elimination 8 player bracket, the #1 seeded player plays the #8 seed player; #2 plays #7, #3 plays #6 and #4 plays #5.

  The winner of  1/8 will play the winner of 4/5.  The winner of 2/7 will play the winner of 3/6

  For the finals, the winner of 1/8 - 4/5 plays the winner of 2/7 - 3/6.

  In bracket play, you want to make sure you have either 4 players, 8 players, 16 players, 32 players (etc.)  Brackets grow exponentially, so make sure you have a cut-off ... otherwise, you're going to find yourself giving out lots of first and possibly 2nd round "byes".

  Best of luck to you!

  BTW ... there's lots more information on the web ... type in "Bracket Tournaments" in your web browser for additional information.
