Kilpailusarjoittain

Kilpailusarjoittain is a Finnish adverb used to describe organization, reporting, or analysis that is done by competition series. It is commonly used in sports and other competitive contexts where results, participants, or classifications are divided into separate series or leagues within a larger event.

Etymology and function: the word is built from kilpailu (competition) + sarja (series) and the adverbial suffix -ittain, which conveys division or distribution. Thus something described as kilpailusarjoittain is presented or considered separately for each series rather than as an overall total.

Typical uses include phrases such as kilpailusarjoittain jaetut tulokset (results divided by series) or kilpailusarjoittain järjestetty kilpailu (a competition organized by series). The term is common in Finnish sports journalism and official results publication. In some contexts, synonyms such as sarjakohtainen or luokitus may be used, depending on structural differences of the competition.
