This opens the file for writing text (assuming you're using Python 3).

competitors])

This tries to write a list to the file. You can't do that. A list isn't
text.

This open the file for reading text. Using 'list' will make it read
lines of text and return them as a list.

>          the_array = target

What's 'target'?

>          counter = the_array[0]

This will set 'counter' to the first line of text that was read.

>          loop = the_array[1]

This will set 'loop' to the second line of text.

>          number_of_competitors = the_array[2]

This will set 'number_of_competitors' to the third line of text.

>          competitors = the_array[3]

This will set 'number_of_competitors' to the fourth line of text.

Not really! :-)

Have a look at the "pickle" module, or the "json" module.
