Presets

In a single-elimination bracket, the best team is far from guaranteed to win — it must string together several wins, each a fresh chance to be upset. Simulating thousands of tournaments reveals the true championship odds for each seed. With little skill spread the field is wide open; with a big gap the top seed dominates, but even then rarely tops 50%.

Reading this result: At this moderate spread the top seed takes about 22% of titles: favored, but each single-elimination round is a fresh chance to be knocked out.
