A sample rugby tournament bracket...

So, we wanted to show you what this format of tournament looks like in practice: Here is a sample bracket for a twenty-team round-robin tournament, followed by the major knockout phase and a sample "consolation" bracket as well...

	OPENING ROUND ROBINS - DIVIDE YOUR TEAMS INTO GROUPS OF 4
	Each team plays all three of the other teams in the group for a record.
	A		↔		C
		↕	↖↘↗↙	↕
	B		↔		D
	E		↔		G
		↕	↖↘↗↙	↕
	F		↔		H
	I		↔		K
		↕	↖↘↗↙	↕
	J		↔		L
	M		↔		O
		↕	↖↘↗↙	↕
	N		↔		P
	Q		↔		S
		↕	↖↘↗↙	↕
	R		↔		T
	THEN, take the group WINNERS and however many more
	you need to get a power of two, and put them in your
	"CHAMPIONSHIP BRACKET":
			#1 (best record)
		Loser		Winner
	Winner		#8 record			Winner
	Loser		#4 record		Loser
		Loser		Winner
			#5 record
Winner					Winner			Winner
	Winner		#2 record
		Loser		Winner
	Loser		#7 record		Loser
	Winner		#3 record			Winner
		Loser		Winner
			#6 record
	And you rank everyone, and then put each group of four remaining
	teams into a smaller bracket as shown, so they can compete for a
	smaller prize, and against teams closer to their own skill levels!
			#45th
		Loser		Winner
			#48th
Winner (of the Tea Bag)					Winner (of the Tea Cup)
			#46th
		Loser		Winner
			#47th
	Everyone competes for something, against someone who should be
	close to their own level of accomplishment, so they can grow!
