Example:

 

The Single Elimination brackets above are free to print. They have been divided into two different sections, one for "Seeded" and one for "Blind Draw". We also have Double Elimination Brackets and Triple Elimination Brackets available.

 

Single elimination tournaments are very simple to run.

The above illustration and the comments below should help guide you through setting up and running your tournament. The bracket above is a 16 Team "Seeded" Single elimination bracket. The same idea is used for all Single Elimination brackets, not matter what the number of participants are.

 

A: The letter "A" points to the "Seeds" of the tournament, if you have pre-ranked your participants based on strength or a season record you would put each team's name on the corresponding line. If you are printing a blind draw bracket these numbers will not appear on the bracket, but the rest of the bracket will be exactly the same.

 

B: The letter "B" points to the order in which the games are to be played. Simply start by playing the game labeled (1) and continue until all games are completed. In a single elimination tournament there is always 1 less game then there are particpants in the touranment. The championship games on our Single Elimination brackets do not have the last game number listed.
