Definition
大赛 (dà sài) refers to a 'grand contest' or 'major competition' — it emphasizes the large scale or importance of the event, unlike the general word 比赛 (bǐ sài) which can be any match or competition. 决赛 (jué sài) specifically means 'finals', and 赛事 (sài shì) is a formal term often used for sporting events in news or official contexts.
