Tournament pass (3)
I believe the answer is:
bye
'tournament pass' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for bye that I've seen before include "Run not off bat" , "Cricketing extra" , "Run scored in cricket from unhit ball" , "Extra run; farewell" , "Run scored in cricket from a ball that passes batman" .)
