basketball tournaments

Basketball tournaments are organized competitions where teams compete in a series of games over a set period. They can be single-elimination, where losing teams are out, or double-elimination, allowing teams a second chance. The goal is to advance through rounds until the final, where the champion is crowned. Tournaments often feature seeding based on team performance, with matchups arranged to ensure competitive balance. They foster excitement and teamwork, culminating in awards or trophies for winners. Key elements include scheduling, brackets, referees, and audience engagement, making them a central part of competitive basketball culture.
