Alliance Color in Eliminations

[Jay O'Donnell]

I believe the way it usually works is that Red is the higher seed, Blue is the lower seed. I don't know this from any source, its just what all of the veterans on my team told me when I was a freshman and it's always been that way for us in eliminations.

This is correct.

And seed is tied with side of the bracket, not the initial starting seed.

So the #1 seed w/ always be red in eliminations, #2 would be red,red,blue. If the #8 beats the red in quarters, it would be red in semis, red in finals. I'm pretty sure the brackets that are printed out at events have this color relation on them.

The top line of the bracket is always red. The bracket is as follows:

1--|
   |1 or 8|
8--|      |
          |1 or 8 or 4 or 5|
4--|      |                |
   |4 or 5|                |
5--|                       |
                           |   
2--|                       |
   |2 or 7|                |
7--|      |                |
          |2 or 7 or 3 or 6|
3--|      |
   |3 or 6|
6--|

Great replies all, thanks.

So yes, alliance #7 for example could find themselves QF3, SF2, F1 - switching after each (upset) win.

Or an 8-4 matchup in SF1 would have them 'both' switch.


This all makes sense, I just had never seen it written anywhere.

This is correct. It continues through, meaning that the winners of the 1v8 and 2v7 are red for the semifinals
