Double-Opportunity brackets are modified double-elimination. In a pure double-elimination tournament, competitors must lose twice to be eliminated. This adds matches and sometimes forces the final match to be repeated.
In a Double-Opportunity tournament, the winner of the consolation bracket gets third place. The winner of the primary bracket gets first place and has no losses. The loser of the final gets second place, with only one loss. Every competitor gets at least two matches.
