Is something wrong with the tournament?

[DTGO Gamer]

It looked like the tournament was unable to start properly or fully. Seventeen players registered. Two stages: the Swiss System and the Single elimination bracket. When it started, the first group of three players appeared. No signs of the rest of the groups.

Group 1 is visible. Three players are in Group 1. One player skipped. Two players are in the match.

Will other matches show up when the first match is finished?

Can anyone explain this?

The first group is still running. Three players are at step 5.

Where are the other seven groups? Seventeen players are registered. Three players are playing.

Any one can help me?

My best guess would be... it needed 8 groups of 2 winners to move on to the single elim. Had 1 fewer person reg, it would have gone straight to single elim.

So basically, 7 groups of 2 auto qualified, and 1 group of 3 need to fight to eliminate the 17th person.
