How Does Single Elimination Tournament Bracket Work?
I will explain how a single-elimination tournament works. Below is an example of a single-elimination bracket for 8 teams.

Falcon (Win) ┘In the ASCII bracket above, there are 8 teams. The tournament starts with the quarterfinals. Each matchup is win-or-go-home—if you lose, you’re out. For example, Thunder Hawks play against Black Stallions. Thunder Hawks win, so they move on to the semifinals, and Black Stallions are eliminated. The same thing happens in every match. Winners advance to the next round, while losing teams are eliminated from the tournament.
After the quarterfinals, four teams remain and move on to the semifinals. The winners of the semifinals then advance to the final round. In the final, the last two teams face each other to decide the champion. In this example, Falcon wins the final match and becomes the tournament champion.
Blind Draw VS Seeded
Time Blocking Method:
Assign specific time blocks to tasks instead of just listing them. This creates accountability and helps you estimate task duration more accurately.
The 2-Minute Rule:
If a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it immediately rather than writing it down. This prevents small tasks from cluttering your planner.
Energy Management:
Schedule demanding tasks during your peak energy hours. Use your weekly planner to identify patterns in your energy levels throughout the week.
Weekly Themes:
Assign themes to different days (e.g., meetings on Tuesday, creative work on Wednesday) to batch similar activities and reduce context switching.
