Harry Greb, 1926 Middleweight Champion In 1916, he took on Young Ahearn in another title bout, and rematched with George Chip in a non-title fight, forgoing knockouts in both bouts, but not gaining an advantage in the decisions of the New York Times. His strenuous schedule with top contenders had begun to wear on McCoy. Through 1916, he fared better achieving several knockouts against opponents who were of less caliber, before taking on a critical bout with 1926 World Middleweight Champion Harry Greb on April 30, 1917. The Pittsburgh Post had Greb winning every round in a match where McCoy seemed clearly outmatched, but was unable to gain a knockout, even in the tenth round where he attempted in vain to land the telling blow.

The following season, the competition did not overlap with the day premiership season at all, and became entirely a pre-season competition. The Night Series is generally considered to be of equivalent importance as the pre-season competition and the VFL Night Series (1956–1971), and records relating to the three competitions are often combined. With the number of players recruited from country leagues increasing, the wealthier VFL clubs were gaining an advantage that metropolitan zoning and the Coulter law (salary cap) restricting player payments had prevented in the past. Country zoning was introduced in the late 1960s, and while it pushed Essendon and Geelong from the top of the ladder, it created severe inequality during the 1970s and 1980s.

Thus, substantively, opportunism refers to someone who acts on opportunities in a self-interested, biased or one-sided manner that conflicts or contrasts in some way with one or more general rule, law, norm, or principle. The fact that the self-interested action evokes this conflict, often implies that the tendency to use opportunities to advantage is excessive or improper, the corollary being a deficiency of character or at least a lack of propriety. Hence the term opportunism often has the pejorative connotation of morally unsound behavior or behavior that sacrifices a greater good for the sake of gaining an advantage for oneself or one's own group. Moralists may have a distaste for opportunism, insofar as opportunism implies the violation of a moral principle.

He was detained overnight once in Algeria for espionage charges for a photograph of an Audi 100. One of several lengths a car manufacturer will go to keep their development mule away from the lens of photographers like Lehmann. Due to its high development costs in the midst of a competitive market, these testing sessions are intended to be as secretive as possible to prevent competitors gaining an advantage and sometimes developing a similar vehicle of their own. It has become a common practice for car manufacturers to mask details of their prototypes to make the car very difficult to be recognised, sometimes using "protection cars" that drive alongside the test car to block the view of the prototype from photographers.

The season was a competitive one with most sides able to beat each other so skill and tactics became the criteria for gaining an advantage over the opposition. Brilliant goals were scored throughout the year including a one handed effort from Jared Dickinson against Hull and individual efforts from Mikey Gilbert, Thomas Revesz; Pawel Slowik and Jake Nurse excited the crowds at the Altrincham rink. Declan Ryan produced some stunning saves in the Aces net, but ably backed up by Jorge El Haage and Aran Fox the net was secure allowing for a more attach minded presence on the ice. The season was not about any individuals but a team effort as the guys bonded on and off the ice and they pulled together when it mattered and together they reached the play offs.

Unknown as the Man With The Draw Four Plan, Binns' Uno play style has been characterized as an aggressive, tactical offensive with the uncanny ability to play a Draw 4 card at pivotal moments in his matches. Rumored to always carry a Draw 4 in his back left pocket, the card has always been a useful tool in reloading his opponents hands when they seem to be gaining an advantage. As of 2016, Binns' career has been on a hiatus, as he has shifted focus to his church and ministry, which includes regular Uno matches within the youth program. There have been many rumors that Binns has been brushing up his game for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, aided by an uptick in the number of professional matches being held in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Because of this game and others, Kentucky All-American center Leroy Edwards is generally recognized as the player responsible for the three-second rule. While the rule was originally adopted to reduce roughness in the area between big men, it is now considered to prevent tall offensive players from gaining an advantage by waiting close to the basket. When the NBA started to allow zone defense in 2001, a three-second rule for defensive players was also introduced. The shot clock was first introduced by the NBA in 1954, to increase the speed of play. Teams were then required to attempt a shot within 24 seconds of gaining possession, and the shot clock would be reset when the ball touched the basket's rim or the backboard, or the opponents gained possession.

With the rise in popularity of "out" Exótico characters, such as Pimpinela Escarlata, Adorable Rubí was often called the last "Old School Exótico" character in Mexico. Both during active career and after his retirement Carbajal expressed his dislike for the "New Exótico" where it was more about the spectacle of the character such as kissing other men as a way of gaining an advantage during a match than wrestling. In 1982 he teamed up with Herodes, El Faraón and Tony Benetto for a four-on-three handicap match against Andre the Giant, Halcón Ortiz and César Curiel during one of Andre's special tours of Mexico, losing to the visiting giant. EMLL decided to give Adorable Rubí one last championship reign in 1984 as he defeated Ángel Blanco to become the second ever holder of the Mexican National Cruiserweight Championship.

The straight line nature of the Silverstone National circuit suited the cars with greater top speed, which meant that MG KX Momentum Racing and Jason Plato once again led the way in qualifying, taking Plato's pole tally this season to five. It was a very different story though for Honda Yuasa Racing Team and Pirtek Racing with their Honda Civics after the latest round of performance equalisation (based on the car's previous results and lap times) left the cars with reduced turbo pressure. This left Matt Neal starting in tenth place whilst championship leader Gordon Shedden could only manage 19th with maximum championship ballast. Elsewhere on the grid, Dave Newsham, Rob Austin and Will Bratt had their fastest times disallowed after race stewards deemed the drivers guilty of exceeding the track limits and gaining an advantage.

On July 20, 1944, Kogon faced the great black 1946 NBA New York world lightweight champion Ike Williams before a sizable crowd of 6,500 at Madison Square Garden, and lost in a ten-round unanimous decision. Some boxing analysts faulted Kogon for gaining an advantage over an injured Williams in the sixth and seventh but not adequately following up. When Kogon landed a right on Williams in the sixth after breaking from a clutch, he stepped back instead of following his advantage and in the seventh when he again landed some effective rights, he again stepped back. Kogon had a two-pound advantage in weight, but a two-inch disadvantage in height, which may have played a greater role in his cautious self-defense, or he may have simply appreciated the extraordinary skill of the future world lightweight champion.

Laurie Emini, Julian Smith and a third director, Anthony Blumberg were each charged with four offences in late 2009 in relation to the collapse of the group. In bringing these charges ASIC alleged that shortly before Opes Prime collapsed, the directors signed financial documentation with ANZ Bank to obtain a term loan for Opes Prime Stockbroking Limited (OPSL) and Opes Prime Group Limited (OPGL) and pledged the companies' assets as security to meet the obligations of a third company, Leveraged Capital Pty Ltd. ASIC alleged that in doing so, the directors were intentionally dishonest and failed to exercise their powers and discharge their duties in good faith in the best interests of OPGL and OPSL. It was further alleged that Messrs Emini, Smith and Blumberg dishonestly used their position as directors of OPGL and OPSL with the intention of directly or indirectly gaining an advantage for themselves or for someone else.10-05AD ASIC brings charges against Opes Prime directors , Australian Securities and Investments Commission, 11 January 2010.

On the following straight, Ricciardo went off-track to overtake the Finnish driver for position. He would later be handed two five-second penalties after the race for unsafely rejoining the track and gaining an advantage off track. Norris was elevated to P9 after Ricciardo's penalties. Carlos Sainz at the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix At the Austrian Grand Prix, McLaren began the weekend strong, finishing in the top 10 in every practice session. However, in qualifying, despite Norris qualifying in P6, Sainz was forced to start from the last row of the grid as he exceeded his quota for power unit components. In the race, Sainz displayed consistently fast pace and charged towards the front of the field to convert his P19 start into a P8 finish. Norris had a strong start and briefly battled Lewis Hamilton for P3. He ended his race in P6, equalling his best result in Formula One. Sainz continued his run of successful points finishes in Britain, going on to finish P6, despite qualifying in P13.

He had an amazing 9.9 yards per attempt. Hill remained his favorite target, catching 47 passes for 1,128 yards (a 24.0 yard per catch average), and 11 touchdowns. The Bears won the Western Conference with a 9-2-1 record, leading the league in rushing and scoring while finished second in rushing in rushing defense. They met the New York Giants in the 1956 Championship Game on December 30 at Yankee Stadium. The 1956 game was the second "sneakers" game in Bears-Giants history (the first was in 1934), with the Giants again gaining an advantage by switching to sneakers vice cleats on an icy field. The Giants destroyed the Bears 47-7, intercepting Brown twice, sacking him multiple times for -34 yards and shutting down Rick Casares and the Bears' running attack. The Bears completed 20 of 47 passes for only 247 yards and no touchdowns. It got so bad that the Bears abandoned the T-formation and switched to a single-wing variant in the third quarter. In 1957, the Bears appeared to still be affected by the 1956 title game, slumping to 5-7 with an anemic running attack and a mediocre year by Ed Brown.

Their application against extradition was denied by the British High Court on the grounds that it did not fall within the political offence exception to the Extradition Act 1870; Mr. Justice Griffiths said: > I am unable to accept that organising burglaries either for the purpose of > identifying persons in Government offices hostile to the Scientologists, or > for the purpose of gaining an advantage in litigation, or even for the wider > purpose of refuting false allegations thus enabling a better image of the > Church of Scientology to be projected to the public, comes anywhere near > being an offence of a political character within the meaning of the > Extradition Act.
