A double elimination tournament means you have to lose twice before being eliminated from the competition. If you lose once, you are sent to the "losers' bracket". In the losers' bracket you are allowed to continue competing against other teams that have also lost once. If you lose a second time you are eliminated. The winner of the losers' bracket places third in the overall competition.

If you're older than 12, it might be a little too late, but anyways, in order to get to the Little League World Series (I assume that's what you mean), you have to have the best record in your area, and then last as long as possible in a single-elimination bracket. The Little League World Series as a whole usually refers to the whole bracket, not just the final two teams remaining.

32 teams compete in the World Cup. They are broken up into eight groups of four teams and play a three-game round robin schedule. The top two teams advance to a round of 16 and then play a single elimination tournament to determine the winner.
How is it not? 64 of the best college basketball teams play against each other in a single elimination tournament...doesn't get a whole lot better.

The 10 seed plays the 11 seed, the winner playing the 1 seed, the 7 plays 6 the winner playing the 3 seed, the 9 plays 8 the winner playing the 2 and the 4 seed plays the 5 seed. The losers drop down to the losers bracket. Matches continue with the losers bracket being fed by the losers from the winners bracket. Eventually the winner of the losers bracket meets the winner of the winners bracket.Go to bracketman.com to download a pre-printed bracket for 3 to 13 teams. It auto-populates the seeds into their appropriate seeding spots when you list the seeds. It's free and requires no registration. Enjoy!
The FIFA World Cup tournament consists of 32 teams, several from each confederation around the world. These 32 teams are divided into eight groups, labeled A through H. Each team plays each other team in their group, with the best two teams in each group (based on points earned from wins and draws, with ties broken by a series of criteria) advancing to the elimination round. The sixteen teams into the Round of 16 are placed into a single-elimination bracket, where the winner advances and the loser goes home. The winners of these matches advance to the quarter-final, and so on until there is only one team left. The losers of the semi-final match will compete for third place.

There will be 94 games. If a tournament is single elimination, the number of games will always be one less than the number of teams. This is because all teams must lose one game, except for the champion.
