bracketry 

n. A non-existent branch of mechanical engineering that gets little respect; the science and technology associated with designing brackets. (A bracket is a support, consisting of metal or wood, projecting from a wall or the like to hold or bear the weight of a shelf, secure a part from moving, etc.)

Often considered an art form.

Stan: Matt, what do you think of this design?
Matt: I like it, but the bracketry could use some tweaking - it seems like there might be an interference.

Bracketman 

someone who remains dormant during the regular season but when the NCAA tournament comes around, they become an instant expert at bracketology

*Standing in front of the water cooler*

Steve - "Shit, here comes bracketman"
Bracketman - "Louisville is tough this year but did you know Boise State is 7-2 vs. the top 100 RPI?"
Steve - "Oh really? So are you just pulling this shit out of your ass or did you really spend all night on ESPN.com just to make it seem like you're a semi-interesting person?"

loser's bracket 

1. the sub-grouping within a competitive tournament whereby those who suffer their first loss are demoted to a pool of similar types who have suffered a like fate; one more defeat in this category renders the unfortunate complete elimination from the field.
2. a common perception that certain individuals are moving through their respective lives already having suffered some type of major defeat (or many smaller ones), thereby rendering them to a decidedly less than ideal existence.

Look at Joe : he attended all the wrong schools thereby acquiring all the wrong type of friends; this precipitated choosing the wrong type of occupation and marrying the wrong type of girl. Now he's in the wrong type of neighborhood with the wrong type of kids. Joe could be said to be existing in the loser's bracket of life.
