Quick question on TBA Match API [Solved/Answered]

Competition Scouting
1

Looking at https://www.thebluealliance.com/apidocs/v3
Under the /match/{match_key} endpoint (or just the match data structure), there is a key called “comp_level”. The five available values are [ qm, ef, qf, sf, f ].
Everything is pretty clear:
qm - qualification match
qf - quarter finals
sf - semi finals
f - finals

But, the definition of ef is something that is unknown to me. Does anyone know the definition of ef?

Many thanks!

extra final?

ef stands for “Eighth-Final”. This was used back when Michigan State Champs used a 16-alliance eliminations bracket (i.e. before 2017). It isn’t used in any current events.
