Thank you, Gary! Your explanation is just brilliant!
GaryG Jul 20, 2007:
Just to add: in pick-up basketball games, since there is no referee the rule is "[if] no autopsy, [then there's] no foul": if the foul does not seriously injure a player, it's ignored (!)
Vanda Nissen (asker) Jul 19, 2007:
Dear colleagues! Thank you for your help! Dear Gary and Valery - a special thank to both of you!
GaryG Jul 19, 2007:
A "pickup" game is one that was not previously planned, with no set teams. The people on the athletic field decide on the spot how the teams are to be formed. The usual rules are followed unless the number of players or field conditions warrant otherwise.
Valery Kaminski Jul 18, 2007:
I am not sure what to call it in Russian. I think it is the situation when two leaders pick players from a number of people who want to play. In Russia we used a different system - делились - when two people came to the captains and they had to choose one

дворовой футбол

Мне кажется, это просто дворовой футбол, когда правил особо нет, а игроков пикают-ап среди желающих.

What is pickup soccer? or pick-up soccer? or whatever?
Pickup soccer is an informal gathering of people that play soccer. It is comparable to pickup basketball, softball, or any other pickup sport, but it seems as though soccer usually requires a bit more organizing - either because people like to have more than a couple of players to play a game, or because grass fields are tough to come by - especially in urban areas, etc. Dictionary.com defines the word 'pickup' as: Being, relating to, or involving a group of people assembled informally for a temporary purpose: [a pickup orchestra; a pickup baseball game].

Судя по описанию, приведенному в разных источниках, это любительская встреча в свободное время людей с разным уровнем подготовки или вообще без какой-либо подготовки.
