I don't get it. 32 teams, 16 pitches, straight knockout. 3 games on Saturday, 2 games on Sunday.
If there are only 29 teams then the top 3 teams get a bye in the first game. If two more drop out 5 teams get a bye. Where's the complication? Any chance we can at least get an earliest possible start time for the 1st game so that we can plan our journeys?
