Re: At your school, what are you the best at out of the entire school?
@Squeek
I figured it was implied that if someone doesn't care to show their skill, then they are not to be included in a comparison of skill. It's as if they're forfeiting their own right to attempt to be considered "the best." Meaning, anyone who elected not to participate in the tournament chose not to try and be considered "the best."
By that definition, yes, I am "the best." Now, I don't know about you, but that's the definition most widely used in my school/community. You may elect to consider unseen skill in determining who is "the best," and in that case, it really is impossible to claim anyone is the best at any specific event on a scale such as a school. Thus, I prefer to use a definition where someone -can- claim to be the best, and this definition is accepted within my area.
Example: Say I'm a really good violinist (I'm not, but for this purpose, assume I am). I'm absolutely incredible, to the point where I can play better than anyone else in my school. However, I choose not to, for reasons of my own. So, if there is some violin-playing contest, I choose not to participate. However, I recognize the winner as being the best in my school, because I chose not to be. Just because I can -play- the violin better doesn't mean I -am- better.
That may be difficult to understand, so you can think of it this way: Someone who -chooses- to display their skill is inherently "better" at an event than someone who chooses -not- to, regardless of what the actual skill level is. That's the definition accepted in my area. The rationale behind it is that, if you compare people solely on skill level, the comparison is almost always inaccurate due to people refusing to show their skill levels. By setting the skill levels of those who do not participate to zero, if you will, the comparison becomes accurate so long as those who do not participate agree to have their skill levels set to zero. This agreement is implied when they elect not to participate.

FFR player and Violinist. But these are assumptions.
For example, I know all the people in our school's Orchestra, but who's the say there's not a brilliant violinist at my school who didn't bother to take Orchestra as a class? *Shrugs*

^^ Oh my.
Anyway, it's FFR, SM and DDR here at my school. My other friend played FFR, but got addicted more to skipping classes and hanging out with women in the park/tennis court, showing off at how active and perfect he can be.
Then comes my tennis skillz to even the world out. =D
