Depending on the country you come from and the sport you are talking about people may feel differently about the definitions but I think these are accurate ways to talk about each kind of game.
国とスポーツによってそれぞれの考え方があり定義自体が異なると思いますが、自分なりにそれぞれの試合を定義します。
- These kinds of games are usually played before a big tournament or the start of the season.
- These games are usually between famous teams or a local team and a famous team. For example, Barcelona playing a lower-level team. The goal is to show the skills of the players.
- These kinds of games are usually for lower-level teams like junior high school or high school. This can be done with players from the same team and is a good way for players to get experience.
