Optimally, such tournaments have a number of competitors equal to a power of two in order to fully fill out a single elimination bracket. In many professional and top-level amateur events, the brackets are Seed (sports), seeded according to a recognised ranking system, in order to keep the best players in the field from facing each other until as late in the tournament as possible; additionally, if Bye (sports), byes are necessary because of a less-than-full bracket, those byes in the first round are usually given to the highest-seeded competitors.
