Understanding Brackets

During the tournament, brackets will come out in the same order as the tournament divisions are scheduled above.

Brackets are built the day of the tournament, and will be posted online HERE.

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with how our brackets work.

2-Man Bracket

Our 2 man bracket will be built as a 'best 2 out of 3' winner. So you would fight the same guy up to 3 times. Whoever wins 2 matches 1st is the winner.

A 3-man round robin bracket is used when 3 competitors are in a weight-class. This means that all competitors will fight each other. Most times the result is 1 competitor wins 2 bouts, which places him as the 1st place winner. The competitor who won 1 bout places 2nd. The 3rd competitor defaults to 3rd place.

However, sometimes there is the situation where each of the 3 competitors wins 1 bout.

A customized bracket that starts as a three-man round robin. but, if it is tied the bracket will be resolved through a special type of elimination bracket.

After the first part is a tie, a new elimination bracket appears where the first match of the round robin is run once again.

The loser in that match will become 3rd place, the winner advances.

At first there is a normal round robin, but if there is a draw a new bracket will appear

A Four

A Four man bracket is formed with four competitors showing two bouts.

The winner of each bout will advance to the finals.

The loser of each bout will compete for third place
