Tournament play
Tournament play is a structured competition where participants or teams compete in a series of matches or games, with winners advancing to the next round. The format can be single-elimination, where losing once means elimination, or double-elimination, allowing for one loss before elimination. The goal is to determine the overall champion based on consistent performance. Tournaments often have brackets that visually track progress, and they can be held in various sports, games, or activities, fostering competitive spirit and entertainment while ensuring fair and organized progression toward a final winner.
