For finite planes (i.e. the set of points is finite) there is a more convenient characterization: [2] For a finite projective plane of order n (i.e. any line contains n + 1 points) a set Ω of points is an oval if and only if | Ω | = n + 1 and no three points are collinear (on a common line). An ovoid in a projective space is a set Ω of ...

Greyhound racing is an organized, competitive sport in which greyhounds are raced around an oval track. The sport originates from coursing .

For example, the price of a share reaches a high of $30.00 on Wednesday, and opens at $31.20 on Thursday, falls down to $31.00 in the early hour, moves straight up again to $31.45, and no trading occurs in between $30.00 and $31.00 area. This no-trading zone appears on the chart as a gap.
A stadium is a two-dimensional geometric shape constructed of a rectangle with semicircles at a pair of opposite sides. [1] The same shape is known also as a pill shape, [2] discorectangle, [3] obround, [4] [5] or sausage body. [6] The shape is based on a stadium, a place used for athletics and horse racing tracks.
