Bracket (tournament)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A bracket is the diagrammatic representation of the series of games played during a tournament, named as such because it appears to be a large number of interconnected (punctuational) brackets.

There are several kinds of brackets, adapted to different types of tournaments. The most common are:

Single elimination brackets (tennis, basketball)
Double elimination brackets (9-ball)
Triple elimination brackets

The "art" of filling in brackets, especially in NCAA basketball, is referred to as bracketology.
