| combats d'encadrement undercard matches / fights Explanation: the equivalent of a "supporting act" in a music gig Card (sports) In sports, a card comprises a listing of the matches taking place in a title-match combat-sport event. Organizers divide overall cards into a main-event match and the undercard, which encompasses the rest of the matches. One can also further subdivide the undercard into midcard and lower card, according to the perceived importance of the matches. Promoters schedule matches to occur in ascending order of importance. ... Undercard The undercard, or preliminary matches (sometimes preliminary card), consists of preliminary bouts that occur before the headline or "main event" of a particular boxing,[1] professional wrestling,[2] horse racing,[3] auto racing, or other sports event. (In auto racing, however, the term "support race" occurs more commonly.) Typically, promoters intend the undercard to provide fans with an opportunity to see up-and-coming fighters or fighters not so well known and popular as their counterparts in the main event. The undercard also ensures that if the main event ends quickly fans will still feel that they received sufficient value for the price of their admission. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_(sports) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day18 hrs (2016-05-06 11:33:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.boxingscene.com/dodson-off-haye-day-card-fournier... http://www.boxingscene.com/donaire-bedak-avalos-faces-magsay... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day18 hrs (2016-05-06 11:37:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_(sports) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day18 hrs (2016-05-06 11:38:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_(sports)#Division |
