Not usually, although it could be possible. Quarter finals consist of eightcontestants in four matches,andprecede semi finals and a final. If there are only eight contestants in the whole comptetion then the first round will effectively be the same as the quarter finals. However, if there are more contestants initially, there could be a first round, second round etc. before the quarter finals, which is quite often the case. So usually, the first round and quarter finals are not the same thing.
