meaning of "to prolong the showpiece" #1 (permalink) Wed Mar 21, 2007 5:36 am   meaning of "to prolong the showpiece"		  
While favourites enjoyed their share of form and fortune to advance to the Super Sixes (an added league format eliminating the quarter-finals to prolong the showpiece), other big teams bowed out from the championship with rank bad performances.

Please explain the group of bold words. (particularly `to prolong the showpiece')

The 'Super Sixes' are an additional step in the league championships; meanwhile, the 'quarter-final' step has been discarded; the purpose of these changes is to make the championships longer (and sell more tickets, presumably).
