If we're now talking about mind sports then another example is easy, poker. Sure, they have things in poker to tell you how people are performing over the course of the year(s) like the ABT for backgammon but that has just about as much to do with who the best players are as it does in backgammon.
You have to have something that combines skill with a fair amount of luck in the short term where enough data isn't available to be significant. That's what we have in backgammon. That's what we have in poker. Yes, they are rather unique because most other sports or even mind sports are more skill based.
