The decisive instance of a competition is called the final.
The end is the end , finishing or conclusion of something . The concept, which comes from the Latin finālis , can be used as a noun or as an adjective (to mention that which finishes or closes something).

Final in literature
For literature , the ending is a key element in the success of a work, and its conception presents various challenges to writers. First, it must be coherent with the rest of the story and offer readers an appropriate closure for the conflicts raised in it. However, this first point raises a very common problem: not everyone appreciates endings in which the plot is resolved absolutely, without leaving any loose ends.
In this sense, the open ending emerges as an invitation to reflection on the part of readers, so that they try to complete those stories that the author intentionally leaves unfinished. However, just as there are detractors of clear endings, there are also those who are disappointed when the responsibility of deducing them falls on them.
Disappointment and endings are often closely linked, especially in mass consumer art, but also in less popular works. For various reasons, human beings tend to look for realities in fiction that complement our own, stories in which better decisions are made than the ones we made, or that teach us to overcome certain fears and obstacles.
When we are captivated by a book, a movie or a play, we form bonds with the characters that transcend time and space, we come to feel that we have known them all our lives and we become involved with their stories as if it were our own. . For this reason, we do not usually tolerate endings that do not meet our expectations, unless they exceed them.
