There's actually a standard schedule of events. The starting times of each event will depend upon how many participants you have, which will determine the number of heats, how many divisions you'll run (like frosh/soph, JV, Girls and then Varsity), how long each event takes to complete and whether or or not you have enough volunteers to assist. You'll need timers, event judges, a hurdle crew, etc.\n\nThe suggested order of events for duals, league and conventional invitational meets (special relay meets excluded) is:\n\n400 Meter Relay \n1600 Meter Run\n110 Meter High Hurdles \n400 Meter Dash \n100 Meter Dash \n800 Meter Dash \n300 Meter Intermediate Hurdles\n200 Meter Dash\n3200 Meter Run\n1600 Meter Relay\n\nEach event will last between 10 minutes (including starter's instructions and timer's results) and 20 minutes for longer races or more time time consuming events like the hurdles.\n \nField events generally start before the running events and are given a 1-hour time limit. Some of these run concurently (Long Jump, Discus, Pole Vault, and after these are completed, the High Jump, Triple Jump, and Shot Put)\n\nLong Jump\nPole Vault\nDiscus\nTriple Jump\nHigh Jump\nShot Put\n\nSee the CIF rules for the state of California

The highest level of competition that I've participated in were National's.  I tried it 3 times, I won 1st (gold) for team kata (2nd time I entered) and 2nd (silver) for individual kata (3rd time I entered).  I didn't win anything the first time I tried, and my heart was in sparring competitively (in all competitions I've entered).

I agree its your country competing against other country's. Your organization should be made up of people from your country. It is also about pride for your home country.

in-house competitions are always good. my team runs them once a week, with the winner having an all expense paid for lunch.\n\nalternatively i know other ppl tend to put up small prizes for grabs such as a free trip to the hair dressers etc.

The official math olympiad competition is really more for high school students and the organization (math assocn of america) hosts a number of competitions that determine whether students will qualify to take the math olympaid tests.\nThe org also hosts a number of other competition for other students from jr. high and below but those are separate.

I have one made up for this year.  30 teams rotating weekly for 28 weeks.  I'm already fed up with my office pool, since 5 teams have done it already.  One guy has won twice in the first two weeks.\n\nIf you want me to email it to you, I'd be happy to.  It's in Excel format.

Common types of competition other than in the sporting arena include: \n-competing with work mates for jobs, for power, for prestige, for influence, for recognition\n-competing at home for time, love, attention, recognition\n-competing against other businesses for customers\n etc. \nI think the interviewer would have wanted examples that showed you could balance the team/group needs with the need to "win" something.  For example, if a team is working to meet a certain goal or deadline or customer expectation, then how can you help the team achieve its team goal by using your own competitive spirit to move closer to the goal.  For example "we had to beat our competitor, xyz company, to win the contract. So I suggested we use this strategy, because I knew that it would give us an edge. I worked extra hours, researched the competition, talked to other customers etc etc.  \nHope this makes some sense.

Depending on the type of tournament you're running and the purpose of the tourney, there's actually quite a bit involved in putting a tournament together.\n\nSome key things you need to consider before even approaching the volleyball court are:\n-What format are you going to play?  doubles, quads, sixes?\n-Are you running mens, womens, coed or reverse coed?\n-Is the tournament going to be grass, sand, indoor or pool?\n-Are you offering prizes?\n-Do you plan to feed the contestants?\n-Why are you holding the tournament?  If its for fun, ask for donations to pay for the food/drink.  If its for a charity, ask them what they're fund raising goal is and then figure out your entry fee from that.\n\nIf you're just playing for fun with friends and family, its pretty simple . . . pick a date, tell people what to bring, pick a court and go have fun.\n\nIf its a charity or club event, you'll have to do quite a bit more planning.  You'll need the event sponsors (the charity that hired you to run the event, plus any businesses that may wish to sponsor the tourney).  You'll need to find a place to host the event.  How many courts do you have?  The fewer number of courts you have, the fewer number of teams your tournament can efficiently support.  If you're playing indoors you may need special permission to use the facility or have to go through special "usage rights" classes to host events there.  If you're playing in a park, you may need to clear it with the parks and recreation department or whoever owns/operates the park (grass or sand).  Once you get permission to use the courts you'll have to think about providing those courts, particularly outdoors.  Some parks may have a few sand/grass nets available, but in order to run larger tournaments you'll need to provide additional nets (more common with grass tourneys).  (I know some tournaments ask registrants to bring nets for a discounted entry fee.)\n\nOnce you have the permissions and courts issue figured out its just a matter of determining the format (may need this before you get sponsors and permissions), working with your sponsors, advertising your event (flyers, newspapers, online groups, league night announcements, radio . . .), designing/ordering prizes and/or shirts, figuring out how much help you'll need to run the event and lining that up.  You'll also need to determine how play will be handled.  Will it be round robin pool play followed by a single or double elimination bracket?  Will it be a straight elimination thing?  The number of courts you have may dictate which of these you go with.  \n\nThe day of the event will be relatively chaotic, but being prepared goes a long way towards running a smooth event.  Do as much of the leg work as you can before the day of the event, so that when you get to the event you're ready to start pool play or the tournament itself.  Be there early.  I can't stress how important it is to be to the site early to get things ready to go.  I can't tell you how many tournaments I've gone to where the event organizers that showed up 5 minutes before play was supposed to begin (or even late).  Being there early allows you to get the stuff done that you won't have time to worry about close to start time (signs, trash cans, court setups, etc).\n\nThere can be a lot of behind the scene stuff going on or there can be minimal stuff happening.  It all depends on the size of your tournament and what the purpose is.  By no means is this list inclusive of everything that has to happen to pull off a great event, but it should be a starting point to give you some ideas about the stuff that has to be done.
