Competition category sorts athletes by the level they actually competed at, such as national team, club or youth level. Wikipedia notes Pele played "for the Brazil national team at 16" while also starring "at club level" for Santos, two distinct categories at once. This dimension groups athletes who competed at the same category of competition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Motorsport have its own athlete category instead of joining Cycling Disciplines?
Motor racing is motorized rather than human-powered, and is expected to gain substantial future athlete depth of its own.
This subcategory groups athletes who competed as drivers in motor racing, such as NASCAR's stock car series. It is kept as its own category, separate from human-powered racing sports grouped under Cycling Disciplines, because motor racing is a globally major, heavily populated discipline expected to gain substantial future athlete depth, not a thin category padded out for its own sake, even though only one member is live today.
