A story which uses incorporates a competitive event as a primary component of the story line, but which is not of a martial-arts or violent nature. While both being cooking based series, Yakitate!! Japan and Chuuka Ichiban are good examples of this genre.
Self-explanatory. High school (grades 10-12) should play a major role in the title. Azumanga Daioh is an excellent example of this category. A typical High school series will include a Sports Festival, a Cultural Festival, and a school Trip.
