Every entrant gets two lives. Paste your teams and this builds the winners' bracket, the full losers' bracket, and the grand final — including which loser drops into which round.
entrants → -team double-elimination draw, matches (plus a possible bracket reset).
If the losers'-bracket side wins, both teams have one loss — play a bracket reset if your format allows it.
Each match has a code. WB2-1 is the first match of winners' round two; L of WB1-3 means "the team that loses winners'-bracket match 1-3". Losers' rounds alternate: one round where existing losers play each other, then a drop-in round where the survivors meet the newest arrivals from the winners' side. That alternation is what keeps both halves in sync.
Budget roughly double the court time of a single-elimination event of the same size. If that does not fit your session, a round robin comparison is worth reading before you commit.
