Here are the final seven fanbases to be honored in the Fandom 250 that couldn’t be contained into a single category.

There are only 15 defined categories in the Fandom 250, and not everything can be pigeonholed into them. But there are fanbases that still deserve recognition, and that is why we have the others category.

Or as we like to affectionaly call it, the best of the rest.

Here are the seven fandoms that couldn’t be contained to one category — unranked and in alphabetical order — you can expect to see on the Fandom 250 this year:

  • Crossfit
  • Golf
  • Kevin Smith Fans
  • Legos
  • NASCAR
  • UFC
  • Yoga

Check back on December 12 to see where each star’s fandom ranks.

What is the FanSided Fandom 250?

The Fandom 250 is the ultimate ranking of fandoms. From sports teams and movie franchises to Instagram celebrities and brands, if something has an avid, sometimes rabid, fanbase, FanSided wants to honor those fans and — in the spirit of healthy competition — rank ‘em.

The Fandom 250 is divided into 16 categories: NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, Soccer, NCAA, Sports Figures, Celebrities, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Comics, Gaming, Brands, Internet Famous and Other. All 250 qualifying fandoms will be ranked both within their categories and against the field, so fans can see how the object of their devotion stacks up against its peers and in the fan landscape at large.

Qualifying fandoms will be announced by category every Tuesday through early December, with the official ranking — and the big reveal of No. 1 fandom — announced on Dec. 12.
