How Are Tournament Brackets Set Up?

This is a very common question -- first you need to decide if you want a single elimination or double elimination format.   Single - one loss and you are done.   Double -- after a loss you go to the losers bracket to try to win the tournament.   The other main question is if you want a seeded(Best player players worst player) type of bracket like the NCAA or a blind draw -- where the two top teams could play in the first round.    After that, pick the bracket you need with the number of teams/players and you are ready to start your tournament!
