8 Team Double Elimination Bracket: What Is It?
An 8 Team Double Elimination Bracket is used in order to lay out the draw for a tournament with eight teams using the double elimination system.
The 8 Team Double Elimination is often chosen over the single elimination system as it provides each team with the opportunity to carry on playing after suffering one loss. The team may only be eliminated after suffering a second loss.
The reason that the double elimination system is often preferred is because it makes the tournament run longer which is great if you want to get the most out of a competition and the teams. This format also works particularly well if each round will be short. This way you avoid a quick end to a tournament. On the other hand, a single elimination format is the preferred option if you want to organize a short and speedy tournament.
