• Ladder tournament suits single-player competitions like tennis or badminton where participants challenge each other on a one-on one match.
• Pyramid tournament is almost similar to the ladder tournament except that it has more players at the lower level when the tournament starts, then the number of players decrease as the level progresses. An individual can challenge anybody within the horizontal level and the winner goes up to challenge the higher level.
• The round-robin tournament is the most commonly used and one of the top competitive tournament types since it permits maximal play. All teams will play against each other at least once during the tournament and the team with the most points will be the winner. Teams get similar game points from a win and a loss.
• An elimination tournament is for short round of matches. Single or pair losses instantly eliminate participants. This is suitable for time-constrained events but is disadvantageous for maximal play.
• Types of Elimination Tournament - Single or straight elimination and Double elimination
• Single or straight elimination happens when the losing player or team gets eliminated, and the winning (player or team) continues to play onto the next round.
• Double elimination is similar to single elimination except that a player or team gets eliminated after losing twice
