9 Team Double Elimination Bracket
9 Team Double Elimination Bracket: What Is It?
A 9 Team Double Elimination Bracket is formed by organizers of a tournament with a total of nine teams. With nine teams there is every possibility to organize a superb tournament where everyone will have fun. If you want to do this successfully and prolong the competition, we would recommend using the 9 Team Double Elimination format.
A Double Elimination 9 Team Bracket is sometimes preferred as it allows a team to continue playing in the tournament after one loss. Only after the second loss will the team be completely eliminated from the competition. This differs to the single elimination system where even after one loss the losing team will be forced to leave the tournament.
The main reason why the double elimination format is sometimes preferred is that it prolongs the tournament by allowing teams to continue playing. In the single elimination system, the tournament will end much quicker which is the perfect format for quick and short tournaments. However, if you want to prolong the tournament and want it to run for longer, the double elimination system will be a much better option.
