How to approach it
The productive route is a mental sweep rather than a single guess. Begin with the mainstream disciplines you could name without thinking, then mutate each one along four axes: who plays it, what surface it uses, what equipment it needs and how long the format runs. Every mutation is a candidate — a different number of players, a different floor, a shortened version, an adapted variant. Then move geographically: every region has codified games that never travelled far, and that is the highest-value territory. Keep a running list, because the format rewards volume and obscurity together. Before submitting, check that the candidate genuinely involves two or more people cooperating against opponents under physical effort, so nothing disqualified slips through.
Get a hint
Start from the biggest stage and work outward: the disciplines contested at major multi-sport games give you a solid backbone before you branch into regional and folk varieties.
A little more
Then think about setting and equipment: water, snow, sand, court, field, track, bat, racket, ball or no ball at all — each shift opens a fresh set of team disciplines.
One step further
Finally, chase the modified forms: numbers of players, surface prefixes, age and gender variants, and shortened formats often name a distinct team sport in its own right.

Why these answers count
Points here track rarity, not legitimacy. The single hundred-point answer, Hooverball, is a niche fitness-derived game that almost nobody thinks of, so it stands alone at the top. The enormous 85-point band — 741 answers — is where distinctive but still codified variants live: 100-ball cricket, 16-inch softball, 3v3 floorball, Abula, Acrobatic gymnastics, Adventure racing. Each is a real, separately named team sport, yet each sits far enough from everyday conversation that only a determined solver reaches it. The 150 answers at 60 points are the ones a casual respondent names within seconds; they are correct, but they are shared by nearly everyone, so the crowd splits the reward. The practical lesson is that breadth beats depth: rather than perfecting one familiar answer, generate many unusual but verifiable ones and submit the most obscure you can justify. Rarity is the scoring engine.
