14-team double elimination bracket questions
Double or single elimination for 14 teams?
Double elimination promises every team two games and takes 26 to 27. Single elimination is done in 13, but a first-round loser goes home after one game. A round robin would take 91 games, with 13 for every team.
Who plays in winners round 1 with 14 teams?
3 vs 14, 4 vs 13, 5 vs 12, 6 vs 11, 7 vs 10 and 8 vs 9. Seeds 1 and 2 have byes. The losers of these games start the losers bracket, so nobody is out after round 1.
How many games are in a 14-team double elimination bracket?
26 or 27: 13 in the winners bracket, 12 in the losers bracket and the grand final. Every team but the champion loses twice, 26 losses in all; the extra game happens only if the champion lost once.
