INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Draw names, and insert in order of the numeric seeding, i.e. insert first name into "1", the second name into "2", etc. These seedings jump around the bracket to spread evenly through the bracket, giving earlier draws slightly
more favorable placement with respect to Byes.
2)
Empty seeds are "Byes" (For example if you have only 5 players in an 8-player bracket, 6, 7, and 8 are "Byes). Write in "Bye", and treat as a player who loses every match. If Bye plays Mike, Mike wins and Bye loses.

3) In the first matches of the bracket, insert winners' names to right, losers' to the left. Subsequently, insert winners to right, and losers from the winner's bracket into the indicated slots within the loser's bracket.
4) The winner of the winner's bracket and the winner of the loser's bracket play for the championship. Since this is double elimination, the winner's bracket winner must only win one match to be the overall winner, the loser's
bracket winner must win two matches.
