How a double elimination bracket works
A team is out after its second loss, not its first. That one rule creates a second bracket, a grand final that can be played twice, and almost twice as many games.
Single elimination, double elimination or round robin
The format decides how many games you have to fit into the day and how many each team gets for its entry fee. Choose it from those two numbers.
Seeding and byes in a tournament bracket
Seeding puts the strongest teams as far apart as the bracket allows. Byes fill the gap when the number of teams is not 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64.
Running the day with a live bracket
The paper bracket taped to the wall still works. A live one answers the question you get asked all day, "who do we play next and where", on every phone in the room.
