55 games over 6 rounds. Lose once and you are out. 8 byes: the top 8 seeds skip the first round, so the bracket evens out to 64. Seeds are placed so the top two can only meet in the final. Round 1 seeding and byes
56 is not a power of two, so the bracket is drawn for 64 and 8 spots are BYEs. A bye is an automatic win: the team skips round 1 and waits in round 2.

Questions How many games are in a 56 team single elimination bracket? 55. Every game knocks out one team and all but the champion get knocked out, so it is always the number of teams minus 1.
How many rounds does a 56 team bracket have? 6. The bracket fills out to 64 spots, so 8 top seeds get byes into round 2.
How do byes work? When the number of teams is not a power of two, the best seeds skip the first round. A bye counts as a win, so those teams start in round 2.
