What is a "quarterfinal"?
A quarterfinal is a stage in a competition where eight participants or teams remain, and they compete to advance to the next round. It follows the earlier rounds, such as the preliminaries or round of 16, and determines the four teams or individuals who will move on to the semifinals. The quarterfinal matches are crucial, as the winners continue their pursuit of the championship, while the losers are eliminated from the competition.
