Double elimination brackets that track every loss
Teams drop to the lower bracket after their first loss and go home after their second. Tourny moves every team to the right game, including the extra final when true double elimination needs one.How to set up a double elimination bracket →
Give a second chance
Allow teams to compete in the lower bracket after losing in the upper bracket.
Enable true double elimination
Ensure the winner of the loser's bracket has to win two games in the final round.
A second chance for every team
In double elimination, a team that loses in the upper bracket drops to the lower bracket and stays alive until its second loss. Every team plays at least two games.
No manual bracket shuffling
When a result is entered, the winner and loser move to their next games automatically, in both brackets. Byes are placed for you, and you can swap first-round matchups before you start.
On its own or after pool play
Run a straight double elimination bracket, or use round robin to double elimination so teams play pool games first and are seeded into the bracket by their results.
Questions organizers ask
What is a double elimination tournament?
A double elimination tournament eliminates teams after their second loss. Teams that lose once move from the upper bracket (the winners bracket) to the lower bracket (the losers bracket) and can still finish near the top.
Do I need to move teams into the lower bracket myself?
No. When a result is submitted, both teams automatically move to their next games.
How many games does double elimination take?
Roughly twice as many as single elimination for the same number of teams, because every team plays at least two games before it's eliminated.
Can I use double elimination after a round robin?
Yes. Choose round robin to double elimination, and Tourny seeds the bracket from the pool standings.
