# Double-elimination (Advanced)

Coming live Q2 2025

A double-elimination draw ensures that each player or team must lose twice before being eliminated. It consists of an **Upper Bracket** (for those who keep winning), a **Lower Bracket** (for those who lose once but get a second chance), and the **Grand Finals**, which include the final match and the third-place match between the Upper and Lower Bracket winners.

{% hint style="info" %}
All matches are automatically advanced throughout the draw based on entered results. However, it's also possible to manually adjust positions if needed.
