It's sometimes called "elimination tournament" or just "draw" too.

Just as a curiosity, where you from? Is English your mother-language?



UK but live in Australia (it’s not used here either as far as I know).

I think the UK equivalent is probably Draw as in “this is the draw for the World Cup”.

Bracket in the UK is something used to hold up shelving.


I’ve seen it recently, like so much stuff it’s u.s cultural imperialism taking over the Anglosphere. See also “Black Friday”, some random time in the middle of November.
