                Planning process

                The organizer selects double elimination for each four-person division. Each group needs six or seven played matches depending on whether its final resets. The host reserves time for both possible resets rather than assuming the shorter score path.

                Result explanation

                The two-loss rule applies independently inside each division. One group finishing early does not authorize cancelling the other group’s reset. The combined event may need twelve to fourteen matches before any exhibition or judging discussion.

                Alternative

                Run one division per session if the venue cannot support the maximum match count. Do not call a one-loss knockout double elimination.

                Execution notes

                Brief scorekeepers on loss counts and final resets. The rank titles are fictional; all real matches remain safe paper-based simulation.
