Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is etiquette in sport?

    Model answer

    Etiquette is the unwritten rules or conventions of a sport. Players follow them out of respect even though no rule requires them.

  2. 2

    Give an example of etiquette in sport.

    Model answer

    A football team kicks the ball out of play when an opponent is injured. The other team then gives the ball back when play restarts.

  3. 3

    What is sportsmanship?

    Model answer

    Sportsmanship is behaving fairly and with respect for opponents, officials and the rules. A good sport wins or loses graciously.

  4. 4

    Give an example of sportsmanship.

    Model answer

    Shaking hands with opponents after a match shows sportsmanship. A golfer calling a penalty on themselves is another example.

  5. 5

    What is gamesmanship?

    Model answer

    Gamesmanship is bending the rules to gain an advantage without actually breaking them. Gamesmanship is legal but against the spirit of the game.

  6. 6

    Give an example of gamesmanship.

    Model answer

    A tennis player taking a long time between points to break an opponent's rhythm is using gamesmanship. Time-wasting late in a football match is another example.
