Morphology

supersectional = sectional (transparent) = super + section + al

The term is transparently formed to describe a competition round between sections, with 'super-' indicating a higher level.

Etymology

Supersectional starts with super ('above' or 'very') and contains section ('group' or 'part'). That's why a supersectional round is a competition above the local sections, where winners from different groups play to advance.
