How single elimination works

In a single elimination tournament, each match eliminates one team. The loser is out; the winner advances. The bracket continues until one team remains — the champion.

Byes: If your team count isn't a power of two (4, 8, 16, 32…), the bracket automatically adds byes — some teams skip round 1 and advance directly to round 2. Top seeds always receive the byes.
