15. DOUBLE-ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT
a type of elimination tournament competition in
which a participant ceases to be eligible to win the
tournament’s championship upon having lost two
games or matches.
It stands in contrast to a single-elimination
tournament, in which only one defeat results in
elimination.
16. Purpose: All contestants remain in
championship contention until they lose two
games
Advantages:
•A player or team must be beaten twice to be
eliminated
•It selects a more adequate winner
•It maintains player motivation right up until
the end
Disadvantages
•It takes longer to run
•It emphasizes elimination
17. Instructions
•Formula – min # of games: (N-1) 2
Max # of games: 2(N-1) + 1
•Construct a single elimination tournament with
appropriate # of slots
•Close the blocks of first round
•Complete the “losers side”
Note – every odd # round should have the same
# of slots as the previous round
•Criss cross losers so they don’t play the same
team again.
18. • One method of arranging a double-
elimination tournament is to break the
competitors into two sets of brackets,
the Winners Bracket and Losers Bracket
