3-team double elimination bracket questions
How long does a 3-team double elimination tournament take?
With one-hour games on two fields, about 4 hours, or 5 hours if the if-necessary game is played. One field means 4 to 5 hours back to back.
Double or single elimination for 3 teams?
Double elimination promises every team two games and takes 4 to 5. Single elimination is done in 2, but a first-round loser goes home after one game. A round robin would take 3 games, with 2 for every team.
Who plays in winners round 1 with 3 teams?
2 vs 3. Seed 1 has a bye. The loser of this game starts the losers bracket, so nobody is out after round 1.
