I'm trying to work out how to generate a list of fixtures for a knockout tournament where you *don't* start out with 2^n teams
<apeiros_>
get some leather gloves…
<kapowaz>
now, I know you'd want to give some teams byes to a later round, but how do you calculate how many teams?
<kapowaz>
assuming that the next round (at which point it reverts to 2^n) has, say, 32 teams then I think you'd solve it as (a-b)/2 + b = 32
<kapowaz>
brain is slowing down here so I'm not sure if I'm heading in the right direction
