what is a competition?
A competition is when teams or individuals are in the act of competing against each other.  They can be trying to do the same activity the highest number times.  Examples of competitions are chess competitions, basketball / volleyball / hockey competitions, or ice skating competitions.  Competitions often tell who is the best at what the competition is measuring (e.g. sports).  Independent competitions usually are not Team sports and usually include an individual trying to achieve a high score.  Their scores are compared against other independent scores to determine  who is the best with independent competitions.
