On parle de «divisions» dans les sports amateurs et professionnels. Au Canada, la répartition se fait géographiquement et, souvent, selon le nombre de clubs et d'athlètes enregistrés susceptibles de se présenter aux Championnats de la Division de l'Est ou à ceux de la Division de l'Ouest servant de sélection en vue des Championnats canadiens (ou nationaux) de la discipline (dans le cas des sports amateurs) ou constituant les séries éliminatoires en vue du Championnat de la Ligue (dans le cas des sports d'équipe professionnels). 2, record 4, French, - division%20de%20l%27Est
