Table tennis arrangement for 24 people

Method 1: More time is needed. Twenty-four people are divided into eight (or four) groups Play the group stage first, select the top group 1 (or the top two) to advance, and then go through the knockout stage until the champion is decided.

Method 2: Play the knockout directly. By drawing lots, it is decided that there will be 8 people bye in the first round, and the remaining 16 people will play in the first round of elimination. At the beginning of the second round, there will be 16 people left, and then it will be fine to cross out.
