Yes, that's what I thought! I asked because I sometimes felt relieved after an eagerly awaited challenge, for which I had prepared very hard after it had vanished into thin air. Puzzled and relieved. Though I didn't really know why.
As a kid I did a lot of taekwondo but I never participated in a contest. That's pretty high up on the list of things I regret not having done.
Good luck in your next match!
