Tournament Formats Explained

Tournaments come in many shapes and sizes. The most popular format is single elimination, where a single loss knocks a team out. It is fast and dramatic, but offers no room for error.

Double elimination gives teams a second chance via a losers bracket. A team must lose twice to be eliminated, making the competition fairer while still keeping a clear path to victory.

Round-robin ensures every participant plays every other participant. It is the most balanced format but requires the most matches. It is common in leagues and group stages.
