What is a 20-Team Double-Elimination Bracket?

Tournament brackets vary in size based on the amount of teams participating. A double elimination tournament has two categories to keep track of, the “winners” bracket and the “losers” bracket.

Each bracket (winners and losers) will run the same way a single elimination tournament would. The main difference is that the losing team from the winners section drops down to the “losers” section, wherein the final match, the prevailing two teams from each section will match up for the championship title.

A 20 team bracket doesn’t work out as evenly as a 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 team tourney would. In addition to an even number of teams, there needs to be an equal number of brackets as teams advance into the following rounds.

For twenty competing teams, there would be an odd number of winning teams moving into the next round, which means one team would not have a match up.

Take a look at the bracket sample to get a visual of what we’re talking about. You’ll see how the tournament will progress from the first round to the second round and beyond.
