RACES AND GAMES OF SKILL

Races :- A contest of speed in running ,riding,driving,sailing or 
         rowing is called a Race



Race Course :-The ground or path on which contests are made is called
              a race course



STARTING POINT :-The point from which a race begins is called starting point.



Winning point or goal:-The point set to bound a race is called a winning point.



Dead Heat Race:-If all the persons contesting a race reach the goal exactly 
                 at the same time,then the race is called a dead heat race.



Start:-suppose A and B are two contestants in a race .If before the start of
         the race,A is at the satrtint point and B is ahead of A by 12 metres.
         Then we say that "A gives B a start 12 metres.



->To cover a race of 100metres in this case,A will have to cover 100m while B 
  will have to cover 88m=(100-12) 



->In a100m race 'A can give B 12m' or 'A can give B a start of 12m' or 'A beats 
  B by 12m'means that while A runs 100m B runs 88m.


GAMES:- A game of 100m,means that the person among the contestants who 
          scores 100 points first is the winner.



If A scores 100 points while B scores only 80 points then we say that 'A can give 
B 20 points'.
