45 occurrences Your bracket will feature 45 matches to play with 10 players. Each match is a best-of-three series, so you'll need to play three games per match. In a single-elimination tournament, the number of games per round depends on how many teams make it to the next round. If four teams advance, each remaining team plays one game. If only two teams remain, they play a final game to determine who wins. In a double-elimination tournament, each round has a predetermined number of games. For example, if there are eight teams in your tournament and you're in the second round, each team will play two games. Once all the first-round winners have been determined, the top seeds will advance to the next round while the lower seeds are eliminated from contention. The number of rounds in a multi-stage tournament varies depending on how many teams are left at the end of the competition. In some cases, such as when there are several ties for first place, more than two rounds may be played.
