What is a Double Elimination Tournament?

A double elimination tournament is a competitive format where teams compete in a bracket-style elimination system. Teams must lose twice to be eliminated, giving them a second chance through a losers' bracket.

Tournament Structure

The tournament is structured in multiple rounds:

  • Opening Round: All teams begin in the main bracket
  • Subsequent Rounds: Winners advance while losers move to the losers' bracket
  • Finals: Winners' and losers' bracket champions meet in the championship game(s)

When to Use This Format

  • Tournament Events: Perfect for weekend tournaments and playoffs
  • Time Constraints: Ideal when teams want guaranteed multiple games
  • Championship Events: Creates exciting, high-stakes matchups
  • Playoff Series: Common format for end-of-season tournaments

Benefits of This Format

  • Clear Progression: Easy to follow tournament advancement
  • Scheduling: Predictable game counts for planning
  • Second Chances: Teams can recover from an early loss
  • More Games: Teams get multiple opportunities to compete
