This term comes from the Latin word " campus ", related to the battlefield. For its part, the word "champion", used to designate who manages to rise in the championship as the best, comes from the Italian "campione" and this, in turn, from the German root "kamp", which also refers to the battlefields, which becomes "kampione" when speaking of the best in fighting.
It is common for the concept of championship to be closely related to the notions of competition, tournament and contest. However, despite the fact that they can sometimes complement each other, there are notable differences between them. Competencies, on the other hand, are about evaluating to the maximum the capacities, in a certain field, that a subject may have, in order to determine which is the best or is superior to the others.
Tournaments are clashes between different teams, typical of joint sports, such as soccer and baseball, in order to establish who will go to tournaments of greater scope and difficulty. Finally, contests are those competitions in which victory is achieved based on the points earned, which are awarded according to the criteria of the judges involved.
