      That just sounds wrong though and doesn’t follow the naming convention of what comes after.

        I remember it like this:

        Finals - 1 match - 2 participants

        Semifinals - 2 matches - 4 participants

        Quarterfinals - 4 matches - 8 participants

        Round of 16 - 8 matches - 16 participants

        Round of 32 - 16 matches - 32 participants

        In every round, half of the participants are eliminated and the other half moves on. Also the number of matches is reduced by a half every round.
