liigaturniire

Liigaturniir is a type of sports competition where teams compete against each other in a series of matches over a period of time. The term is derived from the Finnish words "liiga," meaning league, and "turniiri," meaning tournament. This format is commonly used in various sports, including football, basketball, and ice hockey.

In a liigaturniire, each team typically plays against every other team in the league at least once during the season. The number of games each team plays can vary, but it is usually an even number to ensure that every team has an equal number of home and away games. The teams are ranked based on their performance, with points awarded for wins, draws, and losses.

The top teams at the end of the season may qualify for a championship playoff, where they compete in a series of matches to determine the overall winner. The bottom teams may be relegated to a lower division or face relegation playoffs, depending on the league's structure.

Liigaturniire is popular because it allows for a competitive season with regular matches, providing fans with a consistent schedule of games. It also encourages team development and improvement throughout the season, as teams strive to maintain their position in the league table. The format is widely used in professional sports leagues around the world.
