# Competitions

Finishing among the top teams in a league or cup is the best way to earn rewards. There are currently five types of competitions:

* [**Leagues**](/gameplay/competitions/leagues.md) **(season mode)**. Earn experience and big rewards by joining a league to play against other Managers.
* [**Cups**](/gameplay/competitions/cups.md). They are organized by [stadium](/gameplay/stadiums.md) owners, and in them, you will play against other Managers to show off who is the best Soccer Arena Manager.
* [**Tournaments**](/gameplay/competitions/tournaments.md). There will be 4 free tournaments in which **you will only be able to win**, with no cost to join them, and big rewards.
* [**One-to-one**](/gameplay/competitions/one-to-one.md). Test your Team against a Team of your choice. Play against your friends to find out who has the best team of all.
  * Real one-to-one. Bet directly against a team of your choice.
  * Simulated one-to-one. Simulate the match playing friendlies to find out your chances of winning against another team and improve your game strategy.
* **Special events.** These are a type of one-off tournament that will be organized by Soccer Arena, in which only [Managers](/gameplay/manager.md) who meet certain characteristics, such as a certain Experience Level, will be able to participate. Each special event is unique and will define itself. The first pre-defined special event is the **Soccer Arena Champions League (SACL)**, where **very large rewards** await the best first division teams.
