👉 A "stayer" is a person or object that remains in possession for an extended period of time. In the context of sports, it refers to a player who has been on the field for at least three quarters of the game and continues to play until the end of the match. For example, if a team plays a 70-minute game and the remaining players are not yet on the field, they can be considered "stayers" as they have not played any part in the game
