DOUBLE-ELIMINATION Meaning and Definition

  1. Double-elimination, also known as a double-knockout or a double-loss tournament format, is a competition system used in various sports and games to determine a winner. It refers to a tournament structure that allows a participant or team to remain in the tournament even after suffering one loss, but eliminates them from the competition after incurring a second loss.

    In a double-elimination tournament, the participants or teams are initially divided into two brackets – often referred to as the winners' bracket and the losers' bracket. The winners' bracket consists of undefeated participants or teams, while the losers' bracket includes those who have suffered a loss.

    The tournament progresses with matches taking place within each bracket. If a participant or team in the winners' bracket loses a match, they are not immediately eliminated but instead move to the losers' bracket. Conversely, if a participant or team in the losers' bracket loses a match, they are eliminated from the tournament.

    The winners' bracket and the losers' bracket run parallel until two participants or teams (one from each bracket) eventually advance to the finals. If the winner of the winners' bracket wins the final match, they are crowned the tournament champion. However, if the winner of the losers' bracket wins the final match, a so-called "championship game" or "finals rematch" is held for an ultimate face-off, since the winners' bracket participant has not yet suffered a loss.

    Double-elimination tournaments are often favored as they provide a fair opportunity for participants to recover from a single loss, promoting competitiveness and allowing for a larger number of matches in the tournament.

Etymology of DOUBLE-ELIMINATION

The word "double-elimination" is a compound word that combines the words "double" and "elimination".

The term "elimination" originates from the Latin word "eliminare", which means "to bring out of the house" or "to expel". In the context of a competition or tournament, "elimination" refers to the process of removing or eliminating participants or teams from the competition after they have lost a match or failed to meet certain criteria.

The word "double" simply means "twice as much" or "two times". In the case of "double-elimination", it implies that a participant or team is given two opportunities to remain in the competition.
