Cup Competition

A Cup Competition is a specific type of tournament format typically found in sports, where teams compete in knockout rounds to win a trophy or “cup.” Unlike league competitions, where teams play multiple matches against each other over a season to gain points, cup competitions often involve single-elimination matches, meaning that the losing team is eliminated from the tournament. This format can create exciting and unpredictable outcomes, as underdog teams may defeat stronger opponents. Cup competitions are common in various sports, including football (soccer), basketball, and rugby, and often culminate in a final match where the champion is determined. The competition may feature various rounds, such as preliminary rounds, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final, with teams generally drawn against each other at random for each round. The winning team not only earns the trophy but may also gain recognition and prizes.
