When do TGP multipliers apply in Match Play format?

For this tournament to have maximum potential, I should strive to pre-register in multiples of 4. (In other words, open it up to 16 players, then increase to 20, then to 24, etc.).

According to this new absolute-bonkers TGP rule, you don’t have to get fixated on multiples of 4… just avoid the # of players that results in not having a majority of groups as 4-player.
So avoid 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, and 21. Above 21 and you’re good no matter the number.

8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
4 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
4 3 3 4 4 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
