Here, “Round of 64” and “Round of 32” are used, but then “Sweet Sixteen”, etc.
In these brackets (when the tournament had 65 teams) the losing team in the play-in game is listed as losing in the “Preliminary Round”.
This sounds right to me: “Preliminary Round” for the first four, then “Round of 64” and “Round of 32”, and then the “Sweet Sixteen”, etc.
You’re right Mingyu, thanks. Still, even though it technically breaks the pattern, I like Core 64.
Thanks Abe. I hadn’t realized “round of 64/32” were used as early as 2003. Still, they don’t seem in terribly common use, for example ESPN doesn’t use them.
I agree they are perfectly good/serviceable names. Just not very catchy.
