How the group size works

I have created a tournament of 100 players "5(2)->1" in the format.

60 players already joined. I am thinking to reduce the maximum number of players from 100 to 60 that the tournament can be started immediately

SO, if i have the same format "5(2)->1", how the tournament will work from second round.

12 players will be coming to second round. so, 2 groups of 5 players. where the remaining 2 will go?

put it as two groups of 6 each  and take 2 each from those groups and make it 'best of 4' winner in the third round or a semifinal and a final round of two ppl each in a group.

Or may be u can create a 3 group pf 4 each in the sec round and then a  'best of 3' final round .

I believe we can define the group size only before the tournament starts. After Round 1, i dont think we can change the group size.

i din tknow that..in that case u might need to wait until atleast 75 ppl join.

The groups in any round need not be the maximum size of 5. If there are 12 players then all the groups will have 4 players. There are no byes except in a Maximum Group Size of 2 tournament.

There is an explanation here.

The programming is opposite to the explanation. Once seeded the players are placed in groups from the lowest to highest starting from the last group. Meaning if any group will have less players than others it will be Group#1.
