Can you explain the tournament format. What does 5(2)->2+ mean?

<Player per Group>(<Concurrent Games per Opponent>)-><Players Advancing per Group>[+ = No Tie Breaks]

Example 1: 5(2)->2+ means 5 players per group, playing both games per opponent at the same time, 2 players advance from each group, and no tie breaks.

Example 2: 8(1)->1 means 8 players per group, playing one game per opponent at a time, 1 player advances from each group, and use tie breaks.
