How the 4-team bracket is laid out
4 is a power of two, so the bracket is full: nobody gets a bye.
First-round games: 1 v 4, 2 v 3.
The winners bracket has 2 rounds and the losers bracket 2. Play the games in number order and no team is ever waiting on a result that has not happened yet.
The grand final
The winners-bracket champion has not lost; the losers-bracket champion has lost once. If the unbeaten team wins the grand final, the tournament ends after 6 games. If it loses, both have one loss and game 7 decides it. To finish after one grand final whatever happens, switch the second final off.
How long it takes
At 30 minutes a game, 6 games take about 3 hours on one court. The two brackets can be played side by side, so a second court cuts that roughly in half.
Short on time? The 4-team single elimination bracket takes 3 games.
