IMHO!

I would say that if you keep score it is a contest. That covers 
poker, bridge, ham contests, and a whole bunch of other things.

If it involves physical activity, it is a sport. It may be 
competitive, like baseball, football etc. or non-competitive 
like mountaineering and caving.

Running through the woods with a radio and an antenna while fox 
hunting is certainly a sport. If you are competing with others 
for first-to-the-fox, than it is also a contest.
