How a 10-Team Single Elimination Bracket Works

One loss eliminates a team. Winners move through the connected bracket until the final produces one champion. A 10-team field needs 9 competitive matches across 4 rounds because each played match eliminates one team.

The next supported power-of-two bracket has 16 slots. 6 empty slots create the direct advancements shown above.

Standard Seeding and Byes

Standard seeding places the highest seeds in separate parts of the bracket so they can meet only in later rounds if they keep winning. Available byes go to the top seeds. A bye is an automatic advance, not a played match, win, score, or extra team.
