ELIMINATION ROUND BRACKETS WITH CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS

Tournament Bracket "A"— This bracket is based on the "winner-move-up" philosophy and is designed to select the best team out of a possible nine teams through winning rather than losing.  The teams are then arranged in order (from first to ninth place) by points.  The winners of quizzes A, D, and F meet in quiz G for the championship.

In this bracket the top three teams are involved in a triple elimination, the middle three teams in a double elimination and the last three teams in a single elimination.  This way only those teams that have earned the right through winning will advance to the final quiz.
