16-team double elimination at a glance
Winners bracket: 15 matches (4 rounds)
Losers bracket: 14 matches (6 rounds)
Grand final: 1 match
Total: 30 matches without a reset
With a reset final: up to 31
Every team starts in the winners bracket and needs two losses to be eliminated. Sixteen is a power of two, so there are no byes.
Losers bracket structure
The losers bracket alternates between consolidation rounds and rounds that receive a loser from the winners bracket. The tool routes winners and losers automatically, including empty slots created by byes in non-power-of-two fields.
Printing
Print / PDF lays out both brackets and the grand final. A 16-team double bracket is dense; landscape orientation and a slightly reduced browser scale give the cleanest page.
