Lesson 5- Double Elimination

In the system of double elimination, you are given another chance to play and try to keep your chance to play as long as you are winning a succeeding game. You get eliminated the moment you lose another game. This means that as long as a player or team does not lose a game twice, it continues to compete.
This type of elimination is beneficial to every participating player or team because it still gives the player or team a chance to compete for championship despite of having lost a game.

1.To get the number of games to be played, subtract 1 from the total number of participating teams, then multiply the difference by 2.
2.To get the number of byes, subtract the number of participating teams from the nearest number that is multiple of 2, but does not go over it.
3.To get the number of teams to play on the first day, subtract the number of byes from the total number of participating teams.
