### Bracket Formats
There are 2 different bracket formats available.
 - Single Elimination: When a team loses, thats it. They are done in the tournament.
 - Double Elimination: When a team loses they get a second chance. The losers of all matches form a second bracket. When a team loses twice, they are done in the tournament.

### Game Modes
Available game modes depend on the game. For example Overwatch allows 5v5 or 6v6, Marvel rivals allows 6v6 or 12 player FFA. This influences how matches are made and how scoring is done.

## Team Settings
You can set a max number of participants and create teams here. Not needed but it makes it easier for players to select teams when signing up.
