How I Built A Double Elimination Bracket With Notion — Red Gregory - Free Printable

Explanation:
Let's look at this step by step. This is a tournament bracket, and we need to figure out who wins the final game, which is Game 9.

We can follow the winners from each game to see who ends up in the final.

Start with Game 1:
- It's between #4 and #5.
- The winner is marked as W1.
- The bracket shows that W1 goes to Game 4.

Game 4:
- It's between #1 and W1.
- The winner is W4.
- So W4 is the winner of Game 4.

Now look at Game 2:
- It's between #3 and #6.
- The winner is W2.
- W2 goes to Game 5.

Game 5:
- It's between W2 and #2.
- The winner is W5.
- So W5 is the winner of Game 5.

Now Game 3:
- It's between #7 and #2.
- Wait, #2 is already playing in Game 5. That can't be right.
Let's double-check the bracket.

Actually, looking again:
- Game 3 is between #7 and #2.
- But #2 is also in Game 5. That means #2 is playing in two games, which is not possible.
Wait — maybe the labels are not team numbers but seeds?
But still, a team can't play in two games at once.

Wait — maybe I misread. Let's look carefully.

The bracket shows:

- Top left: #1 vs #4 (Game 1) → W1 → Game 4
- Then Game 4: #1 vs W1 → W4

But #1 is already playing in Game 1? No — Game 1 is between #4 and #5, and #1 is in the next round.

Wait — the bracket is:

- Top: #1 (seeding)
- Then Game 1: #4 vs #5 → W1
- Then Game 4: #1 vs W1 → W4

So #1 is a seed, and Game 1 is #4 vs #5, winner is W1.

Then Game 4 is #1 vs W1 → W4.

So W4 is the winner of Game 4.

Then Game 7: W4 vs W5 → W7

So W7 is the winner of Game 7.

Now Game 2: #3 vs #6 → W2
Game 3: #7 vs #2 → W3
Then Game 5: W2 vs W3 → W5

So W5 is the winner of Game 5.

Then Game 7: W4 vs W5 → W7

So W7 is the winner of Game 7.

Now Game 6: L4 vs L5 → W6
But L4 and L5 are losers from earlier games.

Game 6: L4 vs L5 → W6

Then Game 8: W6 vs L7 → W8

L7 is the loser of Game 7.

So Game 8: W6 vs L7 → W8

Then Game 9: W7 vs W8 → W9

So the winner of Game 9 is the overall winner.

We need to figure out who W9 is.

But we don't have actual names, just seeds and winners.

But the question is: Who wins Game 9?

We need to trace who is in Game 9.

Game 9 is between W7 and W8.

W7 is the winner of Game 7: W4 vs W5

W4 is the winner of Game 4: #1 vs W1

W1 is the winner of Game 1: #4 vs #5

So W1 is either #4 or #5.

Then W4 is #1 vs winner of #4/#5 → so W4 is either #1 or the winner of #4/#5.

Similarly, W5 is the winner of Game 5: W2 vs W3

W2 is winner of Game 2: #3 vs #6 → so W2 is #3 or #6

W3 is winner of Game 3: #7 vs #2 → so W3 is #7 or #2

So W5 is either #3 or #6 or #7 or #2 — depending on who wins.

But we need to see who wins Game 7: W4 vs W5

Then W7 is the winner of that.

Then W8 is winner of Game 8: W6 vs L7

W6 is winner of Game 6: L4 vs L5

L4 is the loser of Game 4: #1 vs W1 → so L4 is either #1 or the loser of #4/#5

L5 is the loser of Game 5: W2 vs W3 → so L5 is the loser of that game

Then W6 is winner of L4 vs L5

Then L7 is the loser of Game 7: W4 vs W5 → so L7 is the loser of W4 vs W5

Then W8 is winner of W6 vs L7

Then W9 is winner of W7 vs W8

But we need to know who wins Game 9.

But we don't have enough information to know who wins each game unless we assume the higher seed wins.

In many brackets, higher seed (lower number) wins.

So let's assume that the higher seed wins each game.

So:

Game 1: #4 vs #5 → #4 wins (since 4 < 5) → W1 = #4

Game 4: #1 vs W1 = #1 vs #4 → #1 wins (1 < 4) → W4 = #1

Game 2: #3 vs #6 → #3 wins (3 < 6) → W2 = #3

Game 3: #7 vs #2 → #2 wins (2 < 7) → W3 = #2

Game 5: W2 = #3 vs W3 = #2 → #2 wins (2 < 3) → W5 = #2

Game 7: W4 = #1 vs W5 = #2 → #1 wins (1 < 2) → W7 = #1

Now Game 6: L4 vs L5

L4 is loser of Game 4: #1 vs #4 → #4 lost → L4 = #4

L5 is loser of Game 5: #3 vs #2 → #3 lost → L5 = #3

Game 6: L4 = #4 vs L5 = #3 → #3 wins (3 < 4) → W6 = #3

L7 is loser of Game 7: #1 vs #2 → #2 lost → L7 = #2

Game 8: W6 = #3 vs L7 = #2 → #2 wins (2 < 3) → W8 = #2

Game 9: W7 = #1 vs W8 = #2 → #1 wins (1 < 2) → W9 = #1

So the winner of Game 9 is #1.

But let's double-check.

Is there any other way?

We assumed higher seed wins.

But the bracket shows:

- Game 1: #4 vs #5 → W1 → then Game 4: #1 vs W1 → W4

- Game 2: #3 vs #6 → W2 → Game 5: W2 vs W3 → W5

- Game 3: #7 vs #2 → W3 → Game 5: W2 vs W3 → W5

- Game 4: #1 vs W1 → W4

- Game 5: W2 vs W3 → W5

- Game 7: W4 vs W5 → W7

- Game 6: L4 vs L5 → W6

- Game 8: W6 vs L7 → W8

- Game 9: W7 vs W8 → W9

Now, if we assume higher seed wins:

- W1 = #4 (4 > 5? No, 4 < 5, so #4 wins) → yes

- W4 = #1 (1 < 4) → #1 wins

- W2 = #3 (3 < 6) → #3 wins

- W3 = #2 (2 < 7) → #2 wins

- W5 = #2 (2 < 3) → #2 wins

- W7 = #1 (1 < 2) → #1 wins

- L4 = #4 (lost to #1)

- L5 = #3 (lost to #2)

- W6 = #3 (3 < 4) → #3 wins

- L7 = #2 (lost to #1)

- W8 = #2 (2 < 3) → #2 wins

- W9 = #1 (1 < 2) → #1 wins

So W9 = #1

But wait — the bracket shows W9 is the final winner.

So the answer should be #1.

But let's check the bracket again.

The final game is Game 9, and it's between W7 and W8.

W7 is the winner of Game 7: W4 vs W5

W4 is winner of Game 4: #1 vs W1

W1 is winner of Game 1: #4 vs #5

So W4 is either #1 or the winner of #4/#5

Similarly, W5 is winner of Game 5: W2 vs W3

W2 is winner of #3 vs #6

W3 is winner of #7 vs #2

So W5 is the winner of those two.

Then W7 is winner of W4 vs W5

Then W8 is winner of W6 vs L7

L7 is the loser of Game 7

So W8 is the winner of the losers' bracket game.

But in this case, with higher seeds winning, #1 wins the tournament.

But is there a possibility that #1 loses?

Only if they lose to W1, but W1 is #4 or #5, and #1 is higher seed.

So unless the bracket has a different rule, #1 should win.

But the question is: Who wins Game 9?

We need to find who is W9.

From the bracket, W9 is the winner of Game 9, which is the final.

But we don't have the actual teams, only seeds.

So the answer should be the seed number of the winner.

But which seed wins?

We can only determine if we assume higher seed wins.

Perhaps the bracket is designed so that the winner is determined by the path.

But we have to assume that the higher seed wins each game.

So:

- Game 1: #4 vs #5 → #4 wins → W1 = #4

- Game 4: #1 vs #4 → #1 wins → W4 = #1

- Game 2: #3 vs #6 → #3 wins → W2 = #3

- Game 3: #7 vs #2 → #2 wins → W3 = #2

- Game 5: #3 vs #2 → #2 wins → W5 = #2

- Game 7: #1 vs #2 → #1 wins → W7 = #1

- Game 6: L4 vs L5

L4 is loser of Game 4: #1 vs #4 → #4 lost → L4 = #4

L5 is loser of Game 5: #3 vs #2 → #3 lost → L5 = #3

Game 6: #4 vs #3 → #3 wins → W6 = #3

L7 is loser of Game 7: #1 vs #2 → #2 lost → L7 = #2

Game 8: W6 = #3 vs L7 = #2 → #2 wins → W8 = #2

Game 9: W7 = #1 vs W8 = #2 → #1 wins → W9 = #1

So the winner of Game 9 is #1.

Final Answer: #1
