In the March Madness tournament bracket, seeds are used to rank and organize the teams based on their performance and record during the regular season. Higher seeded teams are typically expected to perform better and have an advantage over lower seeded teams. The bracket is set up so that higher seeded teams face lower seeded teams in the early rounds, with the ultimate goal of determining the best team in the tournament.
No, the World Cup does not use a sudden death format to determine the winner of the tournament. Instead, it follows a knockout stage format where teams are eliminated after losing a match until a champion is crowned.
A single-elimination tournament consisting of only knock-out rounds (no group play, no third-place, etc) will feature 8 games in the first round, 4 games for the quarter-finals, 2 games for the semi-finals, and 1 final game, for a total of 15 games.
Teams get eliminated in the World Cup by losing matches in the group stage or knockout rounds. If a team loses enough matches, they will not advance to the next stage of the tournament and will be eliminated from the competition.
