The Archduchy is home to many different sports teams and widely attended sporting events, both at the professional and collegiate level. In terms of top level professional sports, the Archduchy hosts two [[Continental Baseball Conference]] teams, both of which are in the Latinic League's Western Division - the [[Urceopolis Imperials]] and the [[Beldra]] Mariners. Associated with each of these teams are a ten-team minor league, both of which play in the Archduchy. The Imperials' "River League" and Mariners' "Creagmer League" are largely divided on east-west geographic lines. Unlike many other minor leagues, the River and Creagmer Leagues are extremely popular spectator sports. The champion of both leagues play a seven-game exhibition Archducal Series at the end of every minor league season, an extremely popular event. | |||
Also at the top level of professional sports are several teams of the [[Royal Association of Football Clubs]]. | |||
Perhaps the best known non-team professional sport in the Archduchy is [[Horse racing in Levantia|horse racing]]. One leg of the extremely prestigious [[Horse_racing_in_Levantia#Triple_Tiara|Triple Tiara]] is run in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] at the [[Hippodrome (Urceopolis)|Hippodrome]]. The Hippodrome, one of Levantia's most prestigious race tracks, is among the world's largest spectator facilities. Several other less-prominent tracks are present in other Archducal cities, and they all utilize the same racing season. The annual racing season, sometimes called the "meet", runs in Urceopolis all year round except during {{wp|Holy Week}}; it concludes a week before {{wp|Christmas}} and begins on January 2nd. | |||
