An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In commerce, a level playing field is a concept about fairness, not that each player has an equal chance to succeed, but that they all play by the same set of rules. In a game played on a playing field, such as rugby, one team would have an unfair advantage if the field had a slope. Since some real-life playing fields do in fact have slopes, it is customary for teams to swap ends of the playing field at half time. A metaphorical playing field is said to be level if no external interference affects the ability of the players to compete fairly.

  • In commerce, a level playing field is a concept about fairness, not that each player has an equal chance to succeed, but that they all play by the same set of rules. In a game played on a playing field, such as rugby, one team would have an unfair advantage if the field had a slope. Since some real-life playing fields do in fact have slopes, it is customary for teams to swap ends of the playing field at half time. A metaphorical playing field is said to be level if no external interference affects the ability of the players to compete fairly. Some government regulations are intended to provide such fairness, since all participants must abide by the same rules. However, they can have the opposite effect, for example if larger firms find it easier to pay for fixed costs of regulation. It may be added that if the rules affect different participants differently, then they are not actually the same. Handicapping might be thought of as the opposite concept, of unequal rules designed to make the outcome of play more equal. (en)
  • Level playing field (expression de la langue anglaise) fait référence à « un terrain de jeu parfaitement plat, qui ne favorise ni ne défavorise l'une des équipes en présence ». Métaphoriquement, le terrain de jeu est dit « à niveau » lorsqu'aucune interférence extérieure n'affecte la capacité des joueurs à se mesurer dans des conditions équitables. (fr)
  • Het gelijke speelveld-principe (Engels: level playing field) is een rechtvaardigheidsprincipe, waarbij niet noodzakelijk is dat elke speler evenveel kansen heeft om te slagen, maar wel dat alle spelers het spel spelen volgens dezelfde regels. Een metaforisch speelveld (playing field) is vlak (level) als geen externe factoren invloed hebben op de mogelijkheid voor de spelers om het spel te spelen in complete eerlijkheid. Handicap, zoals in sport, kan worden gezien als het tegenovergestelde concept, hierbij zijn er ongelijke regels om beide spelers gelijke kansen te geven. (nl)
