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...
