Väljavaihe

Väljavaihe is an Estonian term that translates to "elimination round" or "play-off" in English. It refers to a stage in a competition or tournament where participants are eliminated based on their performance. Typically, in a väljavaihe, the losing competitors are removed from the tournament, and the winners advance to the next round. This format is common in sports, games, and other competitive events. The purpose of a väljavaihe is to progressively narrow down the field of competitors until a single winner or a small group of finalists remains. The specific rules and structure of a väljavaihe can vary greatly depending on the type of competition. For example, in a knockout tournament, each match results in one participant being eliminated. In other formats, a väljavaihe might involve a series of matches or challenges over a period of time, with participants accumulating points or facing elimination based on overall performance. The tension and stakes are often high during väljavaihe stages as the competition intensifies and the consequences of losing become more significant. This stage is crucial for determining the ultimate champions of a tournament.
