Definition
回合 (huíhé) is a noun meaning 'round' in a contest, competition, or series of events — like a round in boxing or a round of negotiations. It differs from 局 (jú), which is a classifier for games (e.g., 一局棋 'one game of chess'), while 回合 focuses on each individual exchange within a larger match. 比赛 is the overall competition, not a subdivision of it.
