Two losses to be out.

Open softballSingle vs double elimination
Single elim runs in N − 1 matches; one loss and you're out. Double elim takes about 2N − 2 matches and gives every team a second chance. Use single when time is tight. Use double for FGC majors and serious club nights.
Round-robin vs Swiss
Round-robin: every team plays every other team. Pure but slow. N×(N−1)/2 matches. Swiss: every round you're paired against someone with a similar record, so you only need log₂(N)-ish rounds. Round-robin is fairer. Swiss is faster.
