So I want to host a double elimination tournament. I know that you have to lose twice to be eliminated, and that there’s a winners and a losers bracket. But I don’t really understand how it works, especially with its matchups. Reading its Wikipedia article made me even more confused…there’s “minor” and “major” loser rounds?
In:
It’s not too difficult, but I understand if the confusion.
Teams plays. If they win they stay in a winner’s bracket. If they lose they move down to a loser’s bracket. If you lose twice you are out.
A plays B. B Loses.
C plays D. D Loses.
B then plays D. B wins and D is out.
A then plays C. C Loses.
C then plays B. C wins. B is out.
A plays C. If A wins. They win it all.
If C wins, they play again. Winner takes all.
