Tournament

Tournament

A tournament is an organized competition involving at least three competitors, all participating in a sport or game, with the only way to exit a winner is as its champion. More specifically, the term may be used in either of two distinct senses: 1. A competition involving a number of matches, each involving a subset of the competitors, with the overall tournament winner determined based on the combined results of these individual matches. 2. One or more competitions held at a single venue and concentrated into a relatively short time interval.__###newline###__ The first sense is common in sports and games where each match must involve a small number of competitors, often precisely two, as in most competitive team sports, racket sports, combat sports, card games, and board games. Such tournaments allow large numbers to compete against each other in spite of the restriction on numbers in a single match.
