# Single-elimination In this format, a player or team continues competing until their first loss, with the possibility of playing in the consolation bracket (if enabled). It is the referee's choice whether to enable a match for third place. 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
