Habituellement, des «éliminatoires» sélectionnent les meilleures équipes en vue d'une compétition plus importante. Dans les sports d'équipe, c'est la saison régulière qui fait cette sélection et le terme sert à désigner l'ensemble des parties de seizièmes, huitièmes et quarts de finale, de demi-finales et la finale, constituant la course au championnat. Chacune de ces rencontres est dite «match éliminatoire» ou «partie éliminatoire». Aux Jeux Olympiques ou dans les grands tournois, ces parties mènent à la ronde des médailles. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9liminatoires
