For the round of 16 of the UEFA Women's Champions League, the eight seeded teams have to be drawn against the eight unseeded teams. The number of possible outcomes is 8! × 28 = 16!! = 10,321,920. In reality, the actual number is almost always smaller, since teams of the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
There are 16!/8! = 30!!!! = 518,918,400 possible ways to draw the round of 16 of a single-elimination tournament.
For the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup, the eight group winners had to be drawn against a third-placed team of another group, and the eight runner-ups had to be drawn against one of the eight third-placed teams from the UEFA Champions League. The number of possible outcomes was !8 × 8! = 598,066,560. In reality, the actual number would be almost always smaller (and was always smaller), since teams of the same association could not be drawn against each other.
