Template:16TeamBracket-Compact-NoSeeds-Byes
| Round of 16 | Quarterfinals | Semifinals | Final | ||||||||||||||||
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template generates a generic 16-team tournament bracket. It is designed to minimize the use of vertical space. It also allows the use of a third-place playoff; to display the third-place match, the parameter "RD4b" must be non-blank.
Despite its name, this bracket does give the option of having seeds. Seeds can be generated on a team-by-team basis; if you want a box for a seed, use the RDX-seedZ= parameter and put something in it (a blank box can be generated with RDX-seedZ= ). If you omit the parameter or leave it blank, the box will not appear.

Alternatives to avoid Wikipedia's Post-expand include size limit
Pages with many brackets or large brackets, especially those containing flag icons, may come close to or exceed Wikipedia's Post-expand include size limit. In these cases consider using modules directly instead:
{{16TeamBracket-Compact-NoSeeds-Byes}}can be replaced with{{#invoke:bracket|16TeamBracket-Compact-NoSeeds-Byes}}.- In most cases, flag templates can be replaced with {{#invoke:flag|function}}, e.g.
{{flag|CAN}}→{{#invoke:flag||CAN}}or{{flag athlete|CAN}}→{{#invoke:flag|athlete|CAN}}.
