I'd like to know what it means since I couldn't find anything about it on the net, so would you explain it to me and add a few sentences with it?

Thanks in Advance. Smile [:)]

Hi,

Here's a simple example.

Tom entered a race. His opponents never came to the race, so Tom won by default. 

Best wishes, Clive
