You got your numbers wrong for '09.
two rounds of 3-ways, two rounds of 1v1s, and 8 blocks gets:
3 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 8 = 288
And add one for the prelim tie.
In order to get to 384, Round 1 would have to be all 4-ways. They weren't except for A01.
Edit--
My mistake, I was looking at '08's format. 2008 had 288 characters.
