please say me how much pairs have i do until play off? and how much players - how much pairs?

This information can be found in the Official Tournament Policy file.

The totalamount of rounds normally depends on the number of players in the tournament. The same goes for Playoffs.

As for the total amount of pairs, simply divide the total number of players 2, the whole number represents the total amount of pairings you need. (If you get a remainder, someone will have a bye. This only happens when there is an odd amount of players playing.)

According to Section 30 of the UDE Official Tournament Policy:

30.                  Number of Rounds and Single-Elimination Cut

 

The number of Swiss rounds in a tournament and the cut for single-elimination rounds is determined by the total number of players enrolled in the tournament. Single game matches use a different table than three game matches to determine the total number of rounds, as well as the cut for single-elimination rounds. Tournament organizers may slightly adjust the number of rounds, but only if they clearly announce this prior to the start of the tournament.

4-8             –    3 rounds           (Top 2)            4-8             –    4 rounds           (Top 2)
