fair competition
Honest rivalry among equals
Fair competition is rivalry conducted within agreed-upon rules, where participants have roughly equal opportunity to succeed.
In business, fair competition means competing on price and quality rather than through deception, collusion, or abuse of market power: Antitrust laws exist to ensure fair competition.
In sports or games, it implies adherence to rules and respect for opponents.
