Yes. A tournament is a competition with multiple competitors all competing in the same game or competition where a number of games must be played to establish the winner. (Thus an automobile race where a number of vehicles race at the same time is not a tournament; a situation where they race in a series of heats to establish a winner is a tournament). In some sports, the most common word for a tournament is something different--a curling tournament is called a bonspiel.

The word comes from "tourney", a medieval competition where pairs of knights would compete in turn.
