Competitions have multiple aspects of significance for participants. This study examined tennis tournaments in-depth significance by asking ”What is the tennis competition?” as a starting point. By using anthropology fieldwork as the research technique, the researcher took the northern Taiwan tennis teams including elementary schools and high schools as subjects. By participative observations and in-depth interviews to understand their ideas about ball games, the researcher annotated and analyzed the in-depth significance of the games. This study found that competitions produced the position by victoryies and defeats, and even obtained the bonuses, supports, and the national champion qualifications. Besides these visible rewards, there were also invisible rewards, such as emotional, passionate, angry and even sad reactions. Competitions not only let participants involve one kind of emotional stalemate and elimination but were about fame acquisition and losing.
