If it's like brackets they have during league/tournament, there are 8 bowlers per bracket (this case $5 a piece = $40)
If lose your first game you get knocked out of the brackets, you don't get nothing.
If you win you move on to the next round (game 2), if lose your second game you get knocked out of the brackets, you don't get nothing.
If you win you move on to the last round (game 3), here there are only two bowlers left.
The winner is 1st place, the Loser is 2nd place.
Most brackets payout two places, 1st & 2nd (in these case 1st-$25 2nd-$10) ($5 for the house) = $40
So the loser (2nd place) if you gets $10
Now this can be expanded to have more people, but it's the same principle. Example: 16 bowlers would equal two brackets, you could have
a 1st & 2nd place for each bracket or the winners of each bracket can bowl against each other and have a 1st & 2nd place between them.
Brackets
Brackets are a eight-person, match play, single-game elimination mini-tournament that runs concurrently with a League or tournament play.
A bowler can enter one or more brackets, but can only enter once in each bracket.
The eight bowlers in each bracket are randomly assigned to four single game matches using games 1 thru 3.
First game scores determine the first round winners. Those four bowlers advance to round two, where the second game score determines who advances to the final round.
In the final round, third game score determines the bracket winner.
Now there is a thing called Cut-the-Field – Which is similar to brackets, but you bowl against the entire field, not just one other person.
The bottom half gets dropped after the first game and so on.
"He said I only have to beat the person I am bowling against to move"
That's the big thing in brackets, getting past that first game. If you can do that you got a chance.
I like brackets, I've won more money in them than in pots and other things. And a lot of times with really bad scores.
