So theres the final, semi final, quarter final then … What is it called?
Achtelfinale
If we followed the convention it would be the Octal final be that does not sound right in English. So, round of 16 is used.
Other correct possibilities:
Semi-Quarter Final.
Quarter-Semi Final.
Semi-Semi-Semi Final.
Octal refers to base eight. If we followed the convention it would be the eighth-final.
In Spanish they say “Octavos de Final”, which literally means “Eighths of Final”. I would probably say Eighths Final. And following that logic you would get Sixteenths Final, Thirty-seconds Final, etc.
Same in French, huitième de finale
And in Swedish as well - åttondelsfinal.
Same in czech - osmifinále
Last 16
Sweet 16 going by March Madness lingo
Sometimes, the round of 8.
I think there’s supposed to be an s at the end, as in eights. To follow the logic of semis, quarters, eights. But that’s rare in English. Most just call it round of 16
Eighth final? But it doesn’t exist, I don’t think
Not common in English, no. Quite common in some European languages tho
Yup, we say åttondelsfinal in Swedish which means just that.
Same in Norway, except we spell it properly.
Heresy!
