League system In sports using a league system (also known as a pyramid structure), a division consists of a group of teams who play a sport at a similar competitive level.

Teams based in cities that are in a particular region of the continent are grouped together in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
