 Tournament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At a certain point in a Swiss-style tournament, it becomes obvious to players when they have been mathematically eliminated from being able to win or place high, but they can continue playing if they choose -- perhaps to boost their rating, if the tournament organizer reports player ratings to the sport's ratings authority.
A common variant of the Swiss-style tournament is known as the round-robin tournament.
Hands are dealt, and a player remains in the event until all chips a player begins with are gone.

 RecFacts 303: Elimination Tournaments - Alberta Community Development
Elimination tournaments, also known as "knock-out" and "match play" tournaments involve the elimination of the losing participant/team until there is only one winner remaining.
The disadvantage to the single elimination tournament is that the "best team" may have an off day and be defeated in the early going therefore not giving your tournament the rightful winner.
The double elimination tournament is very similar to the single, except for the fact that the teams/players entered are guaranteed a minimum of two games under this format.

 Derby Race Methods - McGrew's Miscellanea
The fundamental characteristic of elimination methods is that they eliminate entrants from the competition incrementally, until only the winning entrant(s) remain in the competition.
Losing because you drew the slow lane still eliminates you (or moves you one step closer to elimination in a multiple-elimination race), and there is no way to recover.
Many elimination systems avoid the use of ladders by simply recording the number of losses each entrant has had, and eliminating entrants with more than a given number of losses.

 Double Elimination Ladder
This method is not as definitive as actual timed races for determining the fastest cars and it does not accommodate any imperfections in your track from lane to lane, but it is relatively easy to manage and there are no times to keep track of.
For example, if by chance the actual first, second, and third fastest cars were in the same heat in the winners bracket, then the second and third fastest cars would go to the losers bracket, having lost to the fastest car.
All cars which lose in the losers bracket (all cars with 2 losses) would go into the double-losers bracket, and the winner of this bracket would be the actual third fastest car (once again, assuming all lanes are the same in terms of speed).

 Rapid Ranker
Both the Double Elimination and Rapid Ranker require less than twice as many matches as there are entrants, so both are contenders for that intermediate zone when the time and resources allow more than a Single Elimination but less than a Round Robin.
In conclusion, the Rapid Ranker tournament promises to be more fun for all contestants than a Double Elimination format because it provides a good ranking of all entries, approximately the same number of matches for all, pairs those with similar abilities, and half win their final match.
The only time the Double Elimination format is superior is in the case of totally random seeding, when only the top two finishers are to get awards, and when lower ranked players may not even wish to know their final ranking.
