Definition
对垒 is a formal word meaning 'to face off' or 'to be pitted against each other', originally from military contexts (facing battlements) but now widely used in sports, business, and other competitive arenas. As a verb-object separable verb (离合词), it can split when inserting aspect particles or measure words — for example, 对过一次垒 means 'have faced off once'.
