Pick-up game
Encyclopedia
In sports, a pick-up game is a game that has been spontaneously started by a group of players. Unlike exhibition games
and regular games, players are generally invited to show up beforehand, but there is no sense of obligation or commitment to play. Pick-up games usually lack officials and referees, which makes them more disorganized and less structured than regular games. Without formal rules and regulations, pick-up games are often played with a looser set of rules which are sometimes established by the players themselves. The term pick-up game is popular in basketball
, although it can be applied to other sports as well.
In a pickup game, players choose the teams.
