If an International Federation introduces a new competition format within its existing Olympic sport, how is it classified under the Olympic Charter?

Answer

Under Rule 45 of the Olympic Charter, a 'Sport' is the top-level category governed by an International Federation (IF). A 'Discipline' is a branch of that sport, and an 'Event' is a specific competition. New formats within an existing IF's jurisdiction are integrated as disciplines or events, not as new sports.

A tennis game is at 40-40 (deuce). If the returner wins the next point, what is the score?

Answer

In tennis, the score 40-40 is called 'deuce.' The player who wins the point immediately following deuce is said to have 'advantage.' If the returner (non-serving player) wins the point, the score is 'Advantage Returner' (or Ad-Out). If that player wins the subsequent point, they win the game; if they lose it, the score reverts to deuce.
