	Single-elimination tournament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A single-elimination tournament, also called a knockout or sudden death tournament, is a type of tournament where the loser of each match is immediately eliminated from winning the championship or first prize in the event.
		Often, the number of participants in a single-elimination tournament is fixed as a power of two; for example, the Wimbledon singles championships are tournaments of 128 players.
		In a tournament where more than two opponents or teams can play together at once, such as in a shootout poker tournament, players are removed when they can no longer play until one player remains from the group.

	ChessBase.com - Chess News - FIDE Championship odds after round three
		In a knockout, all players are equally "in contention" until the moment they are eliminated, so nobody would choose to intentionally lose a game, and even if they did, it doesn't really hurt anyone else's chances very much.
		So, from a sporting perspective, the knockout tournament is very appealing to the top players, who feel more in control of their own destiny.
		Thus a knockout tournament should not be the final championship event, merely a preliminary qualifying event.

		The 21 minute MTV documentary film "Panna Knockout" looks at the growth of the "Panna" phenomenon but also examines the disturbing psychological repercussions of a game whose primary aim is to humiliate and embarrass the opponent.
		Panna Knockout was born in the streets of the Netherlands: Panna is the Surinam word for "humiliation", which is what you feel when you are "nutmegged" by a player - the ball is passed between your legs.
		The success of the Panna Knockout concept is the succes of Panna legends like Jermaine Vanenburg, who is closely related to famous football players like Edgar Davids and Ronaldinho.

	Jeff Sonas on the Double Elimination Format (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		In traditional double-elimination tournaments that involve just one winner, in sports like baseball, croquet, or billiards, the final stages inevitably produce an undefeated finalist who is then matched up against an opponent that has already lost once.
		This is for the case where the tournament needs to be won by just one player, who perhaps would advance to face the defending champion in a "long" match.
		The last unbeaten player is the tournament winner, and the loser of that match drops down to the elimination bracket to play one more match (in Round 8) to determine the second qualifier.
