Single-elimination

Single elimination or sudden death is a type of playoffs when the loser of the game is eliminated from the playoffs. As opposed to a format where each round is a best-of series where a team is required to win a certain number of games to advance to the next round such as 4 wins in a best-of-seven series, three wins in a best-of-five series, or two wins in a best-of-three series.
