# Double-elimination (Standard)

In this format, a player or team competes in the consolation draw regardless of the round in which they lose. For example, in a draw of 16, if a team loses in the second round, they will still play for 5th place (whereas in a single-elimination draw, they would be eliminated). However, if they lose a second match, their event participation ends.&#x20;

The winner of each match automatically advances to the next round. Once the draw is completed, final standings can be assigned directly from the draw, and the system will automatically determine placements and allocate ranking points accordingly.

{% 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.
{% endhint %}
