Seeding a 32-man single-elimination tourn

I would like to know how to pair seeds in the initial round of a 32 man tournament. For example, I know the #1 seed would play #32, etc, but don't know how the entire bracket would look like.

Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy),

As you point out, #1 plays #32. Basically, the best always plays the worst in every round. The second best always plays the 2nd worst, the 16th best, plays the 17th best, etc...

For a VERY thorough explanation, check out the USA Table Tennis (Ping Pong) Tournament Guide here (Chapter 6 is mostly what you want):

Here's what the 64 person NCAA basketball tournament looks like... you can just lop off half of this and voila... 32!

This should get you the answer that you're looking for... if not, let me know what else I can do! If this did help, please accept my answer and give me good feedback! Thanks!
