Double Elimination Tournament Bracket - 32 Teams
This bracket uses a standard double-elimination format. Teams are seeded 1-32, with higher seeds facing lower seeds in the initial rounds. Losers from the Winner's Bracket move to the Loser's Bracket, while winners continue in the Winner's Bracket. The Winner's Bracket champion and the Loser's Bracket champion meet in a final match to determine the overall tournament winner. This bracket is extensive and will be presented in a simplified textual format for readability. A visual representation would be significantly larger.

**Loser's Bracket:**
Losers from each Winner's Bracket match feed into the Loser's Bracket, following a similar structure to the Winner's Bracket, but with progressively fewer matches as teams are eliminated. The exact matchups would depend on the results of the Winner's Bracket. The Loser's Bracket continues until only one team remains.
**Championship Match:**
The winner of the Winner's Bracket final plays the winner of the Loser's Bracket final. The winner of this match is the overall tournament champion.
**Note:** This is a simplified textual representation. A full bracket would require a visual diagram to clearly show all matchups and the progression of teams through both brackets. Software like the Tournament Bracket Generator would be ideal for creating a visual and easily updatable bracket of this size.
