Yes the Champion is the person >who win a contest, but thats not the word you should be looking for. >Championship. I found this definition for championship from Merriam-Webster's web site: 3 : a contest held to determine a champion and then for champion: 4 : a winner of first prize or first place in competition; also : one who shows marked superiority <a champion at selling> Hmmm. I guess these definitions (when considered together) are pretty stupid, if you can find some better ones, go for it. -Tom
