walkover
A walkover is a situation in a competition or contest where one party wins automatically because the opposing party is absent, withdraws, or is disqualified. This term is frequently used in sports and games, for instances where an opponent is unable to play for any reason, thereby giving the win to their competitor by default. The term can also be used more broadly to refer to any easy victory.

Walkover
In British English, a walkover or W.O. is the awarding of a victory to a contestant because there are no other contestants, or because the other contestants have been disqualified or have forfeited. The term can apply in sport, but can also apply to elections. This is also referred to as winning "by default". The word is used more generally by extension, particularly in politics, for a contest in which the winner, although not the only participant, has little or no competition. The strict and extended meanings of "walkover" as a single word are both found from 1829.
