Result: Team 1 becomes the ChampionRound 1 - First Round: Six teams compete in three matches (Team 6 vs Team 11, Team 7 vs Team 10, Team 8 vs Team 9). Teams 1-5 receive byes and automatically advance to Round 2. The three winners also advance to Round 2.
Round 2 - Second Round: Eight teams compete in four matches. In this example: Team 6 (Round 1 winner) faces Team 1 (bye), Team 7 (Round 1 winner) faces Team 2 (bye), Team 8 (Round 1 winner) faces Team 3 (bye), and Team 4 (bye) faces Team 5 (bye). The four winners advance to the quarterfinals.
Round 3 - Quarterfinals: Four teams compete in two matches. In this example, Team 1 defeats Team 2, and Team 4 defeats Team 3 to advance to the semifinals.
Round 4 - Semifinals: The two quarterfinal winners face off. In this example, Team 1 defeats Team 4 to reach the championship final.
Round 5 - Final: The two semifinal winners compete for the championship title. In this example, Team 1 wins the tournament and becomes champion.
Total Matches: An 11 team bracket requires exactly 10 matches (3 first round + 4 second round + 2 quarterfinals + 1 semifinal + 1 final). This makes it efficient for medium-sized tournaments with manageable scheduling.
