How it works
A first loss moves a team into a losers bracket; a second loss eliminates it. Winners and losers of named games feed different paths.
Best for: Useful when a first-round loss should not end an entrant’s tournament.
Plan for: A reset final is played only when the team arriving from the losers bracket wins the first final. Plan room for a possible additional match.
