Playoffs

Playoffs refer to a series of games or matches that are held to determine a champion or a winner in sports leagues and tournaments. This phase usually follows the regular season, where teams compete based on their performance during that season. The playoffs can involve elimination rounds, where teams are removed from the competition after losing a game, culminating in a final match or series to decide the overall champion. Playoffs are characterized by a structured format, which can vary by sport, including best-of-seven or best-of-five series, single elimination, or round-robin formats. They generate heightened interest and excitement as teams strive for the title, often showcasing elite performances.
