How it works

Triple elimination

Teams leave after a third loss. Complete each round, then generate the next matchups from results and each team’s loss count.

Best for: Consider it when the event has time for substantially more games and wants several chances per entrant.

Plan for: Future rounds depend on results and are generated after the current round finishes. Leave scheduling space for the games that are not known yet.
