  doubleheader \doubleheader\ n.
     two events, usually entertainment or sports performances,
     occurring immediately in succession or within a short time of
     each other; especially, two sports games played by the same
     teams on the same day, one right after another.
  


     Note: A doubleheader in baseball is often scheduled between
           teams when a previously shceduled game is postponed, as
           due to rain or other interfering factors. In such
           cases, the admission price for the doubleheader remains
           that of a single game, though two games are played.
  
     Syn: twin bill, double feature.
