In single-elimination tournaments, contestants are Battle Royale-ed until only one is left standing. This one loses and everyone else moves on. The most famous single-elimination tournament is probably the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, which also goes by “March Madness.”

In many sports, single elimination is sometimes paired with a consolaton bracket where the losers of the first round compete for prizes that are not as good as the prizes for the winners of the first round. For example, in the Wimbledon tennis tournament, there is a singles bracket and a consolation bracket for doubles.

Round Robin

In a Round Robin tournament, each player or team plays every other player or team. The Round Robin is the simplest form of tournament. If there are N players or teams, each is paired with every other once in a individual game or series of games. The loser (or losers) are then paired with other losers until all have played tokens parties. A complete schedule of games is drawn up in advance so that no one has to wait for an opponent. In theory, a Round Robin should provide equal competitive play for everyone in the tournament, but not all Round Robins are created equal!
