quadrangular

Shaped with four corners

Quadrangular means having four angles and therefore four sides—shaped like a quadrangle.

The term appears in geometry and architecture: a quadrangular courtyard, the quadrangular layout of the college.

In sports, particularly cricket and soccer, a quadrangular tournament involves four teams.
