Level 1 tournaments are run this way. The tournament will usually be somewhere between five and eleven rounds and you can have as many players as you want in it. What happens is that the winners from Round-01 play each other in Round-02.

The pairings for each round are usually displayed on a pairing board, so that you can see who you are playing in your next game and what board number you are playing on.
