Sixteen fills the bracket exactly, so there are no byes and every team plays in the opening round. Four rounds take the field from sixteen to a champion in fifteen matches, and the shape is symmetrical the whole way down.
This is the largest bracket that still runs comfortably in a single day on limited courts or tables. On two stations the round of 16 alone is eight matches, so the opening round is the part of the schedule worth planning around.

Seeds are paired so the strongest and weakest meet first, which keeps the top seeds in opposite halves of the draw. This is the order the board is drawn in, top to bottom.
Rounds run one after another, because a round cannot start until the one feeding it has finished. Matches inside a round can all run at once, so the number of courts you have decides the day more than the number of entrants does.
