What is a Tournament Bracket?
A tournament bracket is used for elimination-style competitions. Participants who lose are eliminated, and the winner is determined by continuous victories. It's characterized by fewer matches and quick determination of the champion.

Single Elimination
The simplest tournament format where one loss means elimination. It requires the fewest matches but has a larger element of chance since one defeat determines placement.

Double Elimination
A format where participants aren't eliminated until they lose twice. Even after one loss, you can continue in the losers bracket and still win. It provides fairer ranking but requires more matches.
