Le terme «joute» est inapproprié pour un match, une partie ou une rencontre sportive : il signifie un combat médiéval où deux combattants s'affrontent, habituellement à cheval, avec lance ou arme au poing. [Selon la chronique «Capsule linguistique» de Guy Bertrand, sur les ondes de la radio de Radio-Canada, le 4 mai 2004.] Il faut donc éviter «joute décisive», «joute éliminatoire unique». 1, record 1, French, - match%20%C3%A9liminatoire%20unique
