___29____ l________ ___30____l ___31_____ l__31____ ___BYE___l Consider the above one small part of a 32 team tournament bracket. This tournament only has 31 entrants. In order to finish the tournament in the least number of games, one team is given a free pass to the second round without playing a first round game (called a "bye"). In this example, team 31 receives a first round "bye" and will play the winner of the 29 v. 30 matchup. Byes are used to fill in the gaps in tournaments that don't contain exactly 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc. entrants.
