Elimination Tag Team Matches are the same as a normal tag team match except that a wrestler who suffers a loss is eliminated from participation. The match continues until all members of one team are eliminated. International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE) uses the term Survivor Series match to denote an eight or ten person match held during their yearly Survivor Series pay-per-view. Lucha Libre companies uses the term Torneo Cibernetico (cybernetic tournament) for multi-man elimination matches. Sometimes in these matches, there can be only one winner, so after the other team has been eliminated former teammates face each other in an elimination match. A further variation is where teams of four or more are composed of tag teams, and once a member of a team is eliminated their partner is also eliminated.
