2018 Basketball Bracket method of arranging a double-elimination tournament is to break the competitors into two sets of brackets, the Winners Bracket and Losers Bracket (W and L Brackets for short; also sometimes Upper Bracket and Lower Bracket, respectively) after the first round. The first round winners proceeding into the W Bracket and the losers proceeding into the L Bracket. The W Bracket is conducted in the same manner as a single-elimination tournament, except that the losers of each round "drop down" into the L Bracket. Another method of double elimination tournament management is the Draw and Process.
As with single-elimination tournaments, most often the number of competitors is equal to a power of two (8, 16, 32, etc.) so that each round there are an even number of competitors and never any byes. The maximum number of games in a double elimination tournament is one less than twice the number of teams participating (e.g., 8 teams – 15 games). The minimum number is two less than twice the number of teams (e.g., 8 teams – 14 games).

March Madness Predictions
There's something charming about the blind optimism that arrives with the NCAA men's basketball tournament 2018. And I'm talking about the people in the office pool, not the actual athletes on the hardwood. This year is the year! Yeah, sure it is, buddy. Most brackets will be making the short trip from desk to paper shredder.
Minus mine, of course. Because, after all, this year actually is the year. Maybe not a perfect 67-for-67, but close. And with that completely unfounded sense of confidence, it's time to unveil Year 3 of the Impecca-bracket, which provides predictions for every March Madness contest.
Of course, in 2016, the saying is "Kentucky vs. the field." Well, let's enter with no preconceived notions and see where the bracket takes us. The winners of each region advance to the Final Four, where the national semifinals are played on Saturday and the national championship is played on Monday. As noted above, which regional champion will play which, and in which semifinal they play, is determined by the overall rankings of the four #1 ranks in the original bracket, not on the ranks of the eventual Final Four teams themselves.
