If you want to link brackets together or you want to make a 128 or a 64 bracket more visible you can cut them into smaller brackets and link them together.
Example of brackets linked together:
128 teams going into 4 brackets of 32 spots with 4 out of each bracket going into a final bracket of 16 spots.
Examples:
| Teams or players in Division | # of double elimination brackets | Size of brackets | # going into the final bracket | Final Bracket size |
| 64 teams | 4 brackets | 16 spots each | 2 out | Final 8 |
| 64 teams | 4 brackets | 16 spots | 4 out | Final 16 |
| 128 players | 2 brackets | 64 spots | 8 out | Final 16 |
| 128 players | 4 brackets | 32 spots | 8 out | Final 32 |
| 256 players | 8 brackets | 32 spots | 4 out | Final 32 |
| 256 players | 4 brackets | 64 spots | 8 out | Final 32 |
| 256 players | 4 brackets | 64 spots | 16 out | Final 64 |
Some will choose to have double elimination brackets going into a final Single Elimination bracket.
Some will do double elimination bracket going into a final double elimination bracket. Some will choose to have the players or teams keep their spot on the winner or loser side when going into the final bracket.
A lot of options are possible.
Example:
To create multiple brackets going into a final bracket you only need one division. (under Menu > Manage > Divisions)
Go to Brackets (Menu > Manage > Brackets | Round-Robin > Brackets)
First create your Final bracket:
Click on the Plus to create a bracket.
1. Select the Division.
2. Choose the bracket size for your final bracket.
3. Save.
Then create your brackets that will go into a final:
Click on the Plus to create a bracket.
1. Select the Division.
2. Choose the bracket size with (X out)
3. Insert your final bracket in the Finalist goes to (Linked)
4. Save.
Select the bracket you created and click on Copy Bracket.
Make 3 more if you need 4 total. (not counting the final bracket)
Very Important: Linking your brackets!
You may be in luck and your brackets are already linked together, as they are an often used pattern. We still suggest checking them over. If not, you will need to link the brackets together to choose who goes where into the final bracket.
Go to Menu > Manage > Brackets/Round-Robin > Brackets Linker.
1. Choose the bracket
2. Click on the spot where the winner of that match will move to the final bracket.
3. Choose the spot where they will go in the final bracket.
4. Click on Link Winner.
5. If you want to undo, click on the linked matches and click on Delete Link.
6. If you are using brackets that keep the loser on the loser side rather than starting back up in the middle. (See how to)
7. If you final bracket didn't appear automatically, you can choose it from the list and link them together.
