Nountournament (plural tournaments)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A tournament is a competition involving a relatively large number of competitors, all participating in a sport or game. More specifically, the term may be used in either of two overlapping senses:
These two senses are distinct. All golf tournaments meet the first definition, but while match play tournaments meet the second, stroke play tournaments do not, since there are no distinct matches within the tournament. In contrast, football (soccer) leagues like the Premier League are tournaments in the second sense, but not the first, having matches spread across many stadia over a period of up to a year. Many tournaments meet both definitions; for example, the Wimbledon tennis championship. A tournament-match (or tie or fixture or heat) may involve multiple game-matches (or rubbers or legs) between the competitors. For example, in the Davis Cup tennis tournament, a tie between two nations involves five rubbers between the nations' players. The team that wins the most rubbers wins the tie. In the later rounds of UEFA Champions League of football (soccer), each fixture is played over two legs. The scores of each leg are added, and the team with the higher aggregate score wins the fixture, with away goals used as a tiebreaker and a penalty shootout if away goals cannot determine a winner.

GNU Free Documentation License What should a woman wear to a golf tournament? Q. I'm going to a golf tournament at a high end country club in the Palm Springs, California area. I expect the weather to be about 110 degrees. Yikes! I want to be comfortable, but also look polished. Would it be taboo to wear a casual skirt or dress? Thanks for the advice... .I've never even set foot on a golf course before this! Asked by Red - Thu May 10 19:09:06 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you still have time to shop, I would go since you will almost definitely look out of place in a casual skirt or dress. Most of the women I see on the golf course wear stuff similar to what the guys wear; polo shirts, khaki shorts or those skirt things with the shorts underneath them. If you have the money and want to fit in, then head out to a golf shop. But you could always come up with someone if you don't have the time to go wrangle up a new outfit. Also, google some ladies golf images to get a better idea. Answered by Phat Kidd - Thu May 10 19:21:01 2007 How would someone go about organizing a Card playing tournament in their town? What are some steps to consider? Q. Not a poker tournament but more recreational card games. Would like to know what type of people to contact and what issues to consider in taking on this endeavor. Asked by vinbro88 - Wed Aug 12 17:44:46 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. You could start with folks in your church/synagogue/mosque. Especially since it's not poker. Just a thought. Answered by pdq - Wed Aug 12 18:17:16 2009 How does the Wimbledon draw procedure work, before the tournament begins?
Q. This is in terms of choosing the players matches and how they make sure the top seeds don't get pulled out during the early stages of the tournament e.g. Nadal playing Federer in the quarter finals. Asked by Dav247 - Mon Jun 23 06:08:42 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The top two seeds are placed in opposite halves, assuring they can't possibly meet before the finals. The rest of the draw is randomly drawn, exept that the top 4 seed are placed in different quarters of the draw, assuring they can't meet until the semis, and the top 8 seeds are put in different eighths of the draw, assuring they can't meet until the quarters. Do you see where this is going?
