No, no, after the doubles and singles rounds, whoever is left from the single rounds fights in a bracket system. Why would they have the losers fight among the winners to find out who's best?

Let's say that Andrew, Ashley, Brad, Bethany, Caleb, Casey, Desmond, Diane, Edward, Ellie, Frank, Francine, Grant, Gayle, Harold, Hannah, Ignatius, Isabelle, Jacob, Jasmine, Kevin, Kathy, Leon, Leslie, Mark, Maddie, Nathan, Nancy, Osric, Opal, Paul, and Patricia all make it to the doubles round.

Andrew and Ashley vs Brad and Bethany

Caleb and Casey vs Desmond and Diane

Edward and Ellie vs Frank and Francine

Grant and Gayle vs Harold and Hannah

Ignatius and Isabelle vs Jacob and Jasmine

Kevin and Kathy vs Leon and Leslie

Mark and Maddie vs Nathan and Nacy

Osric and Opal vs Paul and Patricia

Out of those fights, Teams A, D, E, H, I, L, M, and P win and send forward Ashley, Desmond, Ellie, Hannah, Isabelle, Leon, Mark, and Patricia. For the singles round, we have

Ashley vs Desmond

Ellie vs Hannah

Isabelle vs Leon

Mark vs Patricia

Out of those four fights, we move on to what Port was talking about - the bracket. We'll say Desmond, Ellie, Leon, and Patricia won their singles rounds.

Desmond vs Ellie

Leon vs Patricia

Then, Ellie and Leon win, so they have to fight. Whichever one of them wins is the champion of the tournament.

Simple, but really long to explain.
