2. Single-elimination tournament - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-elimination_tournament

   Without any additional matches, the only position a single-elimination tournament can reliably determine is first - for example, if sorting the numbers 1-4 ascending, if 4 and 3 meet in the first round, 3 and 1 will lose in the first round and 2 will lose in the second, selecting 4 as the largest number in the set, but insufficient comparisons ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_playoff_system

   A standard round-robin tournament is used, in which all teams play each other once. Because the number of total games increases quadratically with respect to the number of teams, scheduling too many teams will result in an unwieldy number of games, particularly when there are a limited number of playing surfaces (championship curling arenas usually only have four or five sheets).

   If the byes are all single first-round byes into the second round of a tournament, the number of byes required is the difference between the number of teams and the next-highest power of two. For example, a 12-team tournament will require four byes (16−12) to ensure that instead of six teams in the second round, eight advance (as the four ...

7. Bracket (tournament) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket_(tournament)

   In the post-season tournament, only the teams with the best records qualify, except the division winner (and also #2 and #3 in the division in the NHL) having an automatic entry into the tournament. Some North American professional post-season tournaments are single-elimination format. If a bye is required, the top seeded teams usually get the ...
