How does double elimination work?
All teams start in the winners bracket. When a team loses, they drop to the losers bracket. Lose again in the losers bracket and you're eliminated. The undefeated winners bracket champion faces the losers bracket survivor in the grand final. If the losers bracket team wins, a bracket reset match determines the overall champion.
What is a BYE in a tournament bracket?
A BYE means a team automatically advances to the next round without playing a match. BYEs are added when your team count isn't a power of 2 (like 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, or 12 teams). Top-seeded teams receive BYEs first to reward higher rankings.
