Let's look at the 9 team double elimination bracket that you posted. Since 9 is not a power of 2, we'll need an introductory round where only 2 teams play, and the other 7 teams get a bye. The 8 and 9 seeds play each other in game 1; the winner goes on to play the number 1 seed in game 5, and the loser becomes team "L1" and plays the loser of ...
Semi-Final Elimination Round Grand Final Elimination Round I still see an issue with the "Grand Final" round, as the winner may have already beaten the loser and to win, the loser will have to beat the winner twice, but that's not really relevant to the question at hand, I suppose.
If you require a single-elimination tournament with a non-power-of-2 number of entries, random draw to first round including byes is the only way to do it that doesn't require ordering of entrants in some way, and therefore biasing the first round.
I am looking for a tournament design that keeps the good qualities of single elimination, but avoids byes, and is more manifestly "fair" to all teams. The advantages of a single elimination tournament with 2^n teams are: If a stronger team always beats a weaker one, then the strongest team is certain to win.
If a double-elimination tournament has the same number of games for both the winner's and loser's brackets, then you could call it a "race to N/N". An example of that can be found here: race to 3/3 double elimination. But instead of calling it a "race to 3/3", you could just call it a "race to 3". An example of that can be found here:
A home-and-away competition or a double round-robin repeats this. The number of games is twice that for a single round, for example 2 × 10 = 20 games. Note that for an odd number of teams, each team will have one bye per round, adding an additional week of competition per round (assuming one game is played per week).
Giving them a bye also seems unfair to other schools, since this is an elimination tournament, and the other schools are not required to provide a reschedule. I'm looking for a bracket design that could understand that some schools can't participate in certain weeks, without in some way giving those schools an advantage (aka bye) or ...
A "double-elimination" is not a "game", but a point in a series where you'd have to lose twice to be eliminated. Or a term for a tournament where you must lose twice to be eliminated...etc. Basically that there's no such thing as a double elimination "GAME". Group B says. A "double-elimination game" can also refer to the fact that either team ...
In karate, judo, taekwondo, and wrestling tournaments, single-elimination brackets are used to determine the two athletes who will compete in the final for first and second place. The repechage bracket is built from athletes who were knocked out by the finalists and building brackets to determine third place.
In a few tournament sports, such as boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling, two bronze medals are awarded in each event – one for each eliminated semi-finalist or for the winners of the repechage brackets. From Indian Express, There is no bronze medal play-off in bridge sport at the Games. both teams losing the semifinals receive bronze medals
