sudden death
In a sport or game, sudden death (or a sudden-death round) is a form of competition where play ends as soon as one competitor is ahead of the others, with that competitor becoming the winner. Sudden death is typically used as a tiebreaker when a contest is tied at the end of the normal playing time or the completion of the normal playing task.

playoff
mata-mata > playoff
Os clubes da primeira divisão decidiram contra a possibilidade de discutiram a adoção de um mata-mata após o término do Campeonato Inglês para definir o quarto representante do país na Liga dos Campeões da Europa.
Atualmente, os quatro melhores colocados se classificam automaticamente. Os times foram consultados sobre a ideia de que só os três primeiros obtivessem a vaga. A última seria disputada entre os clubes que ficassem entre a quarta e a sétima posição.
A Holanda abandonou em 2008 um modelo parecido para definir o seu segundo representante na Liga dos Campeões, depois de adotar o playoff em três temporadas. No mesmo rumo, os ingleses descartaram a experiência.

Sudden death is typically used as a tiebreaker when a contest is tied at the end of the normal playing time or the completion of the normal playing task.

Sudden Death
1. The sudden death system of determining the winner shall prevail when score is tied at the end of the regulation playing time of all NFL games. The team scoring first during overtime play shall be the winner and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by Referee for a palpably unfair act.
