Team 1 (BYE) ┐
├── Team 1 (Win) ┐
Team 3 (Win) ┐ │ │
├───┘ │
Team 6 (Lose) ┘ ├── Team 1 (Win)

├── Team 4 (Win) ┘
Team 4 (Win) ┐ │
├───┘
Team 5 (Lose) ┘
Result: Team 1 becomes the ChampionRound 1 - First Round: Four teams compete in two matches (Team 3 vs Team 6 and Team 4 vs Team 5). Teams 1 and 2 receive byes and automatically advance to the semifinals. The winners of both first-round matches also advance to the semifinals.
Round 2 - Semifinals: Two matches are played. In this example: Team 1 (bye) faces Team 3 (Round 1 winner), and Team 2 (bye) faces Team 4 (Round 1 winner). The winners advance to the final.
Round 3 - Final: The two semifinal winners compete for the championship. In this example, Team 1 defeats Team 4 to become champion.
Total Matches: A 6 team bracket requires 5 matches total (2 first round + 2 semifinals + 1 final). This makes it efficient for small to medium tournaments.
