When you’re organizing a competitive tournament like Clash TourIVers, the format you choose can make all the difference — for both the teams and the audience. One of the most fair, exciting, and popular formats in esports is the Double Elimination System.
Why? Because unlike single elimination, this format gives every team two chances. A team can lose once and still go all the way to the championship.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the entire 8-team Double Elimination format, based exactly on the match flow used in Clash TourIVers — using Match 1 to Match 15, in the correct order. No confusing labels, just clean structure.
🎮 What is a Double Elimination Tournament?
It’s simple:
-
Every team has to lose twice to be eliminated.
-
There are two brackets:
-
Winners Bracket (WB): You stay here as long as you keep winning.
-
Losers Bracket (LB): If you lose once, you drop here and keep fighting.
-
-
In the Grand Final, if a team from the Losers Bracket makes it there, they have to win twice to take the title (because their opponent hasn’t lost yet).
Now let’s look at how this plays out in a real 8-team bracket — match by match.
🧩 Step-by-Step: All Matches from M1 to M15
🔹 Round 1 – Opening Matches (Winners Bracket)
These are the very first matchups — 4 games, 8 teams.
-
Match 1: Team A vs Team H
-
Match 2: Team D vs Team E
-
Match 3: Team B vs Team G
-
Match 4: Team C vs Team F
✅ Winners go to Match 5 and 6 (Winners Semifinals)
❌ Losers drop into the Losers Bracket (Match 8 and 9)
🔹 Round 2 – Winners Semifinals

❌ Losers drop to the Losers Bracket (Match 11 and 10)
🔹 Round 3 – Winners Final
-
Match 7: Winner of Match 5 vs Winner of Match 6
✅ Winner moves directly to the Grand Final (Match 14)
❌ Loser drops into Match 13, the Losers Bracket Final
⏱️ 🔥 This match must happen before LB continues, because Match 13 depends on the loser here.
🔻 Now We Begin the Losers Bracket
This is where the second chance kicks in. If you’ve lost once, you fight here. Lose again, and you’re out.
🔹 Round 4 – First Losers Round
-
Match 8: Loser of Match 1 vs Loser of Match 2
-
Match 9: Loser of Match 3 vs Loser of Match 4

❌ Losers are eliminated
🔹 Round 5 – Second Losers Round
Now the winners of Match 8 and 9 face the teams that just dropped from the Winners Semifinals.
-
Match 10: Winner of Match 8 vs Loser of Match 5
-
Match 11: Winner of Match 9 vs Loser of Match 6
✅ Winners go to Match 12
❌ Losers are eliminated
🔹 Round 6 – Losers Quarterfinal
-
Match 12: Winner of Match 10 vs Winner of Match 11
✅ Winner moves to Match 13 (Losers Final)
❌ Loser is eliminated
🔹 Round 7 – Losers Final
-
Match 13: Loser of Match 7 vs Winner of Match 12
✅ Winner advances to the Grand Final (Match 14)
❌ Loser is eliminated
🏆 GRAND FINAL – Match 14
-
Match 14: Winner of Match 7 (undefeated) vs Winner of Match 13 (one loss)
Two possible outcomes:
✅ If the undefeated team wins, they become the Clash TourIVers Champion.
🔁 If the 1-loss team wins, both teams now have one loss, and it’s time for…
🔄 GRAND FINAL RESET – Match 15 (If Needed)
-
