How It's Calculated
Time = (matches / courts) × minutes-per-match, rounded up by the number of full rounds. Match counts differ by format:
- Single Elimination: N − 1 matches (one loss = out)
- Double Elimination: 2N − 2 matches (the lower bracket gives a second chance)
- Round Robin: N × (N−1) / 2 (everyone plays everyone)
- Swiss: log₂(N) rounds × (N / 2) matches per round
- Groups + Playoff: 4 groups × (groupSize × (groupSize−1)/2) + a playoff among the top 2 of each group
