HOW DOES POOL PLAY FORMAT WORK?
This format gives players more matches and is often used at high level sporting events like the FIFA World Cup. It further strengthens the competitive opportunities by guaranteeing each competitor 3 matches, with a minimum of 50% of competitors playing in at least 4 matches.
THE Format
The tourney starts with a group stage. Players are divided into groups of players dependent on the tournament size.
THE Group STAGE
Each competitor will throw 3 matches within the group in a 3 out of 5 round match format before any eliminations.
THE ELIMINATION STAGE
The top 2 competitors from each group move onto a single elimination bracket to crown that tournament's winner.
HOW DOES DOUBLE ELIMINATION WORK?
This format eliminates competitors once they lose two games. This format is popular in NCAA baseball and amateur wrestling.
First round
The tourney starts with a round of matches for all competitors. Match-ups can be determined at random or through seeding. Throwers are then split into the A or B bracket based on performance.
a and b brackets
Competitors that lose in A bracket move to B bracket as the tournament progresses. Throwers that lose in B bracket are eliminated.
finals
The winner of the A bracket competes against the winner of the B bracket to be the tournament champion. Because the winner of the A bracket has yet to lose, the B bracket winner must defeat them twice in order to be champion.
