      What do you do if you have 10 teams. Choosing “16 teams” on the “# of teams” creates a bracket that has too many games and choosing “8 teams” obviously only allows for 8 teams. I was under the impression that the bracket plug in allows for teams of 10 or something more than 8 and less than 16. So how do I create a tournament for 10 teams that should result in a total of 9 matches?

      Thanks

        Hi Ficarro,
        Your right but … with 10 teams you are going to create a 4 ROUND bracket, which is enough for 16 teams but the first round is going to be 2 “play in” games — 10 v 7 and 8 v 9. Those winners will play 1 and 2. Now you have a 3 ROUND tournament with the 8 remaining teams. I’m not positive why that won’t work, but I will give it a try and update the post. If you have further info for me, please send it along.
        Thanks,
