INDEX

At the end of each round, after teams have been scored and ranked, the tourney advances some teams to the next round and eliminates the rest from competition in the manner discussed in Bracket Basics: How teams advance.

You can see which teams have advanced and which have been eliminated by examining the "Status" column in the tourney bracket. The possible status values are:

• Alive - A team in competition in the current round. This status is displayed if the round is not yet over, or if the scoring and ranking has not yet been completed.
• Advanced - A team that has advanced to the next round.
• Champion - A team that has won the tourney championship. This status applies only to MAIN EVENT and INSTANT CASH tourneys. SATELLITE tourneys do not crown tourney champions.
• Qualified - A team that has finished high enough in a SATELLITE tourney to win a free entry in the SATELLITE tourney's affiliated MAIN EVENT tourney. This status applies only to SATELLITE tourneys.
• Out - A team that has been eliminated from the tourney.

A team that is eliminated from a MAIN EVENT or INSTANT CASH tourney but advanced far enough to qualify for prize money will show a status of "Out."
