You can't write lists directly to files.  You can only write strings
to files.  To write and read a list, you'll need to first serialize it
and later deserialize it.  Your needs appear simple enough that I
suggest the json module for this.

    json.dump([counter, loop, number_of_competitors, competitors], target)

    [counter, loop, number_of_competitors, competitors] = json.load(target)

It sounds like this may be the source of the exception that tkinter
was trying unsuccessfully to report in your first post.  You should
still fix your sys.stderr so that tkinter can report exceptions.
