Double elimination brackets are divided into a winners' bracket and a losers' bracket, with the winner of the losers' bracket competing for first place against the winner of the winners' bracket. Losers in winners' bracket matches drop down into a place and face another loser to see who advances to the losers' bracket. The sequence is repeated until only one player remains. To prepare for these types of tournaments you need to identify which players are going to be in each round. Then, you need to make sure that they don't get too many points during the game. Finally, you need to make sure that you cover all your opponents possibilities at least once during the game. The most common method for doing this is called "outcome determination". In this method, each player receives 11 markers to use as they see fit during their turn. These can include placing tokens on spaces, moving characters, or performing actions. At the end of each player's turn, the outcome is determined as either victory or defeat for that player. If a player has not claimed victory by the end of the turn, then they have lost the match. This method allows players to plan ahead and use their resources effectively while still keeping things fluid and changing throughout the game. It also ensures that everyone gets a chance to compete equally well regardless of where they place in the standings. However, this method does leave room for error because you never know what options a player may have left after their turn.
