ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the winner of an event in which there are numerous players involves the players playing in groups in a first round, with the half of the players in each group having the highest scores advancing to a winners bracket, and the half of the players in each group having the lowest totals moving to a losers bracket. Play in the winners bracket proceeds in rounds until sixteen players remain, with half of the players in each round moving to the next winners round, and half moving to a selected round in the losers bracket. Play continues in the losers bracket in rounds with half of the players advancing and half being eliminated upon receipt of their second loss, until a single player with only one loss remains. The sixteen players with no losses in the winners bracket start a separate double-elimination bracket and play until four players remain. These four players and the single player from the losers bracket play in a championship bracket to determine the winner of the event.
