| 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.
