A 30-team single-elimination bracket is a competition where each match pits two of the ten teams against each other; the winner advances and the loser is eliminated from the single-elimination tournament. This continues until only one team from the original 30-team bracket remains.

The 30 team single elimination bracket is made up of 5 different rounds. 28 teams will play in the first round and 2 teams will receive byes. When a bracket does not have exactly 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,64, or 128 teams, then there must be byes. Byes are awarded in the first round and only the first round.

How does a 30 Team Double Elimination Bracket work? In a 30 team double elimination tournament, the teams compete in a bracket where every team must lose two times to be eliminated. The winner of each game in the winners bracket moves on to the next round and the loser drops down to the losers bracket.
