Single elimination bracket tournaments

Single elimination brackets are a simple way to organize tournament playoffs. Players are organized into a bracket using a seeding method (typically manual seeding). Each match is a head-to-head match between two players. The winner of each match will advance in the bracket, and the loser is eliminated from the tournament.

Match Play will automatically create a bronze match for the losers of the semifinal round to determine the third and fourth place finishers in the tournament. A four-player match to determine 5th through 8th place will also be created. If you do not wish to play out these extra matches, they can be ignored.

Configuration options

Seeding

See seeding. Random seeding it not an option for this tournament format.

Bracket size

Determines the size of the bracket that will be built. 8/16/32/64/128 player brackets are available. Pick the next size up if you do not have the perfect amount of players; byes will be created accordingly. For example, if you have 24 players, pick the 32-player bracket size. Similarly, if you have four players, pick the eight-player bracket size.
