Definition
A specialization of ConflictEvent. An instance of Competition is a conflict
event that typically involves one or more agents who are each striving to attain
a certain goal uniquely or to outdo the other competitors with respect to some
game or task. Examples include arm wrestling contests, football games, fighting
for prey, competitive courting, racing events, and spelling bees. Note that it
is possible for the competitors in a competition to be unaware that a competition has been going on until after it is over (e.g. the first year a "Best Restaurant in Town" award is given out in a particular city). See also competingAgents.
