For round robin, seeding only affects the round-1 ordering since everyone plays everyone. For single elimination, use 1 vs N, 2 vs N-1 pairings. For pool play, snake-distribute seeds across pools so no pool is dramatically stronger.

47 matches in total. Pool play counts depend on the pool structure. For 24 players we use 6 pools, giving 47 total matches (round-robin within each pool plus the cross-bracket playoff).
