Single elimination

Single elimination is a tournament format where each participant competes in one match, and the loser is immediately eliminated from the competition. The winners move on to the next round, and this process repeats until only one competitor remains, who is then declared the champion. It’s a straightforward and efficient way to determine a winner, as each match has high stakes, and the tournament proceeds quickly. This format is commonly used in sports, gaming, and competitions when quick results are needed and it’s acceptable for participants to be eliminated after a single loss.
