Brazilian Repechage

For AAU Bracketed Forms

Competition

Repechage is a method of

bracketing that affords a competitor

who has lost a match the opportunity

to continue as long as the opponent

that they lost to proceeds to the championship

Match.

The following is an

example of how to run a

large division through this

process.

The division progresses normally through the

bracket sheet until you reach the final match as

illustrated in the next several slides.

Rules of thumb:

1. If a competitor loses, they will remain eligible for a spot in the losers bracket

until the person they lost to is defeated.

2. You must make it to the final match or win your respective losers bracket to

advance to the medal rounds.

3. To win the gold medal you must not lose any matches.
