Competition forms vary from sport to sport. And the name of the competition depends on the purpose, scale, form and nature of what is happening. Knowing the answers to the basic questions, you can choose the right wording.
Instructions
Step 1
Call the competition a championship when it comes to educational or departmental competitions, where it is important to identify the strongest. In form, such competitions can be personal, team or personal-team. In the first case, the sum of the points of each participant in a particular category of the program is taken into account separately. In the second, the best among the men's and women's teams, respectively, is revealed. In the third, both personal results and team achievements are taken into account. A collective championship is possible when the performances of several teams are summed up: children, youth, men, women, etc.
Step 2
Refine the focus of the competition. It can be educational if the main goal is to consolidate the acquired skills. Or qualifying, if it is important to choose the strongest athletes to form a team. A similar problem is solved by the so-called estimates. Call a traditional meeting between teams a match if it is official and friendly.
Step 3
Show the representativeness of the competition. Competitions can be divided both on a territorial basis and on a departmental basis. Attach the description of the meeting to the name of the meeting: republican, regional, city, district, school. Or specify the name of the organization that organized it.
Step 4
Choose the nature of the competition. For example, they can be qualifying when a specific sporting grade is awarded; closed or open, if possible, for the admission of spectators or representatives of a particular region. A friendly match does not affect the position of the teams, but is a normal test of strength.
Step 5
Call a competition a competition when it comes to the fulfillment of certain elements or specially agreed conditions. The competition is more informal. As a rule, this is the name of children's competitions.
Step 6
Host a tournament when it comes to head-to-head confrontation. This name is well suited to wrestling, boxing, chess, checkers. There are several systems for holding tournaments: round-robin (when everyone plays with everyone), Olympic - for the elimination of the defeated, etc.
Step 7
Use the name "Spartakiad" for traditional complex mass sports events. It is more logical to conduct them in large teams or for entire regions. For example, the Spartakiad of the Volga region or the Spartakiad of students of technical schools.
Step 8
Give the name "championship" to the official competition of a particular sport. Championship is the highest title for a sporting event. But it can occur at various levels - a district, a city, a region, a country, a continent, or the world.
