elimination table

Si c'est bien le même terme qu'en escrime (cf. lien du lexique officiel des J.O.)
Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth (X) : Are you a fencer? (I am). It's normally "DIRECT elimination table", as opposed to elimination in the preliminary rounds of pools.

league tables

I know nothing whatsoever about hockey but in tennis, football, etc., aren't these just called league tables?
Peer comment(s):

neutral Marc Glinert : yes Claire, but these are already covered by "classements"

tournaments draws

It mentions both leagues and tournaments. The "classements" are the league tables. Assuming the tournaments are knock-out (which is probable from the "élimination", then this would be called the "draw". Note that "draw" can refer to both the "tableaux" and the actual "tirage" itself (as well as, obviously, a "match nul").

In my years in France there seemed to be a growing trend for "hockey" to refer to ice hockey rather than field hockey. In theory, hockey means "field hockey" in the UK and Ireland, and "ice hockey" across the pond, but it might be a good idea to write the full name anyway. You should be able to see what form of hockey it is from the context.
