Final (competition)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The final of a competition is the match or round in which the winner of the entire event is decided.
In sports competitions following a knockout system, where only two individuals or teams compete in each match, the final is usually played between the winners of two semi-finals. However, if more than two entrants are required for each match, then qualification for the final may be through some other process such as winning heats.
The final is usually the last match in a tournament to be played, and the winner of this match is declared the winner of the whole tournament. In many contests, the winner(s) and runner(s)-up receive gold and silver medals respectively.
If the final round is contested in a "best-of" format (like "best-of-7"), the term is called "finals," to denote that there is more than one game (like "the NBA Finals").
