The standard competition format for championship games generally includes single-elimination or round-robin formats, depending on the sport and league. In single-elimination formats, teams must win to advance; losing teams are eliminated from the competition. Round-robin formats allow each team to compete against every other team, with the overall performance determining advancement to the playoff stage. Championships also typically culminate in a final match or series, where the top teams compete for the title. This excitement is heightened by media coverage and the involvement of fans, making championships a significant part of the sporting calendar.
