Document Summary
Single elimination: loss=elimination, # of entries 1 = # of games. Large # of entries can be accommodated. Multilevel: a single elimination tournament with consolation games. All entries play approximately the same number of games. Play more games than in double or single elimination. Round one losers rank in the bottom of entries. Double elimination: (# of entries 1) x 2 = # of games. A better measure of player"s or team"s ability is provided compared to a single format. Some may play many games/some play few games. When playing areas are limited and final standings are important. Round robin: n=number of entrants, # rounds for even # of teams = n-1, # rounds of odd # of teams = n, total # of games = n (n 1) / 2. Extended: participants can challenge anyone in the row horizontally, if they win, they can challenge someone in the row above, can go on indefinitely, often used for racket sports.
