How about an Arda Rugby Tournament?? Rugby after all is a man's game without protective padding most notably. Also as Tolkien grew up under a British influence to say the least, Rugby it should be. Right, there could be all the teams that you have mentioned Sleepy Ranger, playing in pools.

However how about inter-race teams, so there are more specially assigned positions??

Or an alternative...

This years Arda World Select Barbarians Team:

Props: Durin the Deathless and Gimli
Hooker: Thorin Oakenshield
Locks (Second Row): Moria Cave Troll and Treebeard
Flankers: Beorn and Azog
No. 8: Tulkas
Scrum Half: Frodo Baggins
Fly- Half: Fëanor
Inside Centre: Turin Turumbar
Outside Centre: Morgoth
Left Wing: Legolas
Right Wing: Elrond
Fullback: Sauron

Skipper (Captain): Fëanor
Coach: Gandalf
Assistant Coach: Tom Bombadil

Home Ground for this year: Minas Tirith
Alternative due to adverse weather conditions:
The Withered Heath playing fields
Sponsors: The Barad-dûr Trust and the Icebay of Forochel

Now we can make up other teams for these lot to play using known people from the books and write legendary match reports!!
