Loser's Bracket
The Loser's Bracket is a Tournament Bracket that only includes bots that have lost a matchup in a tournament. This kind of bracket is quite common in tournaments that have a lot of entrants (BBEANS, RAW) or tournaments that simply want to give robots a second chance. Loser's brackets typically will allow the winner of the tournament to "try again" by placing it back on the regular tournament bracket to compete. This in a way, allows the tournament to not only reduce the chance of a bot from having a Bad matchup, but it also can save the competitors from getting kicked out of the tournament completely - making a kind of comeback. Specialized tournaments like ELBITE use Teams who enter their bots in multiple tournaments, like a Loser's brackets in a sense that the Teams are competing more than once.
