In Best of N, two teams do not play just a single match but a whole series. With 32 teams, this creates a knockout tournament over 5 rounds with 31 series matchups. In a Best of 3, that means between 62 and 93 games – the stronger side usually prevails only over several matches.
With 32 teams the tournament runs as a knockout over 5 rounds. Each of the 31 matchups is played as a Best of 3 series – whoever wins 2 games first advances. Depending on how the series go, that's between 62 and 93 games in total.

Because every matchup is a series, the duration depends heavily on how the series play out. How long a best-of tournament with 32 teams takes is mostly determined by the number of fields. The values show the pure playing time for an average series length – plan extra time for breaks.

Best of N means two players play a series of up to N games. Whoever wins the majority first (e.g. 2 out of 3) wins the series.

Best of N is ideal for table tennis, darts, badminton, esports and any sport with short individual games.
Yes! Once a player has reached the required majority, the series is automatically ended and the next opponent is assigned.
With 32 teams it's between 62 and 93 games – depending on how many series go the full distance. With 2 fields the pure playing time is about 9 h 45 min, with 4 fields roughly 5 h – each without breaks.
A Best of 3 series lasts between 2 and 3 games: whoever wins 2 games first takes the series. Across all 31 matchups that adds up to 62 to 93 games in the whole tournament.
