  Tournament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After each game, each participant is either dropped from the tournament, or advances to play a new opponent in the next "round." Usually, all the rounds of the tournament lead up to the "finals", in which the only remaining participants play, and the winner of the finals is the winner of the entire tournament.
A common variant of the Swiss-style tournament is known as the round-robin tournament.
In tournaments open to the general public, it is unlikely that this exact number of players will enroll, and in any case players may decide to voluntarily drop from the tournament at any point, so "byes" are used to fill holes in the bracket.

 Poker tournament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A poker tournament is a tournament at which the winners are decided by playing poker, usually a particular style of poker.
In most tournaments, the number of players at each table is kept even by moving players, either by switching one player or (as the field shrinks) taking an entire table out of play and distributing its players amongst the remaining tables.
For example, for a seven-card stud tournament with the stakes at 10/20, raises would be $10 in the first three rounds of betting, and $20 in the latter rounds.

 PlanetMath: tournament
A tournament is a directed graph obtained by choosing a direction for each edge in an undirected complete graph.
The name ``tournament'' originates from such a graph's interpretation as the outcome of some sports competition in which every player encounters every other player exactly once, and in which no draws occur; let us say that an arrow points from the winner to the loser.
This is version 3 of tournament, born on 2002-10-11, modified 2003-05-17.

 The Jousting Tournament in Medieval Times
In a tournament a knight could enjoy all the excitement, danger and glory of war, with none of the dirt, flies, disease or discomfort.
Tournaments were generally viewed with disapproval by the Church because they distracted the knights from the crusades, and by the state because of the unwarranted loss of life.
At the end of the thirteenth century, when tournaments ceased to be miniature battles with no holds barred, they became organized spectacles, subject to accepted conventions and often fought with blunted weapons.

 Knighthood, Chivalry & Tournament Glossary of Terms
During the 14th century the tournament proper, the hastilude, was gradually supplanted by the jousts and foot combats described in pas d’armes and round tables.
Tournament Society: Because of the rising cost and logistical difficulties involved in sponsoring a tournament, during the early and mid 14th century groups of knights in the Bavarian region of Germany banded themselves into small groups for the purposes of sponsoring and participating in tournaments.
For one of these societies, the tournament was to act as an annual assembly, whose members wore the same livery and held a court at the same tournament, to which they were to bring their wives and daughters in order to ‘bring honor to the society,’ during which they were to conduct their annual business.
