What is a "prelim"?
A prelim, short for preliminary, refers to an early round or event in a competition, often used to determine who will advance to the next stage. It is usually held before the main or final events and helps to narrow down the field of participants. Prelims are common in sports, tournaments, and contests where many people or teams compete. The top performers in these early rounds move on to the next level, while others are eliminated. Preliminaries help organize large competitions by setting up the final stages.
