One could rank the level of competition in sports, and which sports are more competitive and less so. They can do this by using the total amount of players who try out for college and pro level teams for one example. Also by the statistically average amount of hours in training for most minor league and college level players before they go to the elite level. I suspect that to reach the pro level in the sport of lacrosse may be relatively easier than to reach the NFL. Thus, a number will be attached to this, such as for example the pro lacrosse league maintaining a 4.3 and the NFL ranking 5.9 in difficulty/competition level.
Powers of 3 can be used to denote level of exceptionality. A person who is the best short-medium distance runner out of 243 athletes may be ranked a 5 (3 to the power of 5) in short-medium running. Someone who is the best knife fighter out of 81 tournament entrees would be rank 4, the best performer out of 27 in overall strength tests would be rank 3 in overall strength.
