  All-star game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The players are often chosen by a popular vote of fans of the sport and the game often occurs at the halfway point of the regular season, although this is not the case for some All-Star games (such as the Pro Bowl).
Moreover, "all-star" games are not often played in many sports (especially soccer) that are popular outside North America because these sports play more international games, which are usually much more popular than "all-star" games would be.
In the United Kingdom, "all-star" teams (both real and fantasy) are usually denoted with the Roman numeral corresponding to the number of players allowed on the field - for example, a soccer or cricket XI, a rugby league XIII and a rugby union XV.
