Not that I've ever seen.

In true double elimination, a team continues to participate and has a chance to win the championship until they have lost twice. What Oregon does have is a consolation bracket....sometimes called double elimination...but not accurately so.

It is true that two losses means you're done, but 3 teams end the Oregon Tourney with just a single loss....the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place teams (8 team final tourney in each class).

W+W+W = Champion
W+W+L = 2nd
W+L+W = 3rd
W+L+L = 5th
L+W+W = 4th
L+W+L = 6th
L+L = OUT
