While round-robin or modified round-robin contests are the most popular kind of league structure however, there are many options for organizing sports competitions, almost every one of which can be called an "league". A lot of sports organizations are in a spectrum between absence of any organization, like a pick-up match or an official league like is typical at the top levels in professional sports.
Non-league sports
The most basic way to play is to let teams compete whenever they feel it is appropriate. In certain games, such as race horses, the primary objective of the competitors is to collect individual purses which is why there isn't much rank or competition other than winning certain races. A little bit of league structure could be placed on these sports that are not league-based by through the creation of a series or a tournament that connects multiple events together for example, The Triple Crown.
Although team sports typically follow a league structure, there are teams that typically do not belong to any league. These teams are often referred to as barnstorming teams. They either organize games against amateur or professional local teams or even bring their own competitions, like those of the Barnstorming Harlem Globetrotters did when they traveled along with Washington Generals. Like the Globetrotters Barnstorming teams often focus on spectacle rather than athletic competitiveness.
In Europe The term "cup competition" is used to refer to single elimination tournaments or knock-out tournaments where the teams that play in each round is determined through an "draw" (see an instance for instance, the FA Cup in England) in order to differentiate it from league competitions where every team within the league or division matches the other teams in a specific number of games in the course of a year, generally on the basis of home and away.
Furthermore to that, in England the term "non-league football is often used in the past to refer to football clubs who participate in organized leagues but not the English Football League or Premier League which are the two top levels of competition for that sport in this country.
Independent baseball is a term used to Independent baseball in America. It is used in the United States to describe baseball teams who are in leagues that are not those that are sanctioned by Major League Baseball. They participate in leagues and are not to be confused with barnstorming teams who use non-league schedules.
Leaderboards and rankings
Individual sports usually employ a different type of league system where athletes are ranked against one another. In simple instances, like boxing, rankings are very little, and the primary challenge is to decide the winner of an event called a title fight.
Other sports also have leaderboards and rankings gain significance when they are utilized to seed tournaments.
In certain sport, there are points allocated to the results of individual competitions and the points resulting from these competitions can be used to establish season ranking and determine the winner of the season. Although they are not typically known as "leagues" however, they can be referred to as "tours" are also known as "series" are seasons-long contests that have set dates are like leagues in sports that are played by teams. Examples include golf, motorsport, tennis ski, beach volleyball, and rugby sevens.
Leagues, conferences and informal games
American colleges are usually organised into teams, referred to as conferences. The conferences typically maintain league tables and crown champions within their conference, like other leagues in sports have, however, individual schools also have certain numbers of "non-conference" games held in a separate manner between two schools within different conferences, or between two conference teams and an unconference team. National championships in certain sports of the college are determined through an algorithm of ranking or playoffs which is independent of conference itself.
