I posted this in gFAQs, but I honestly don't see why I have to change any of my wording so here it goes...
According from I gathered from the video and what I've analyzed so far, characters are indeed split into categories, as the footage shows special or different icons from each character, regarding the sports that involve a large ensemble of them.
These are the main playable characters we know so far:
Mario
Luigi
Peach
Daisy
Yoshi
Birdo
Wario
Waluigi
Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Boo
Rosalina
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
We know that Baby Mario is not a side character, because he receives his own entry on the tournament board, complete with his unique emblem and shield. It's completely logical to assume that Baby Luigi will follow suit; horse-racing also does not showcase any instances of generics racing with you (think Moped Mayhem where generic NPCs can race against you despite not being playable.) and Baby Luigi is not himself a generic character.
All characters were shown in multiple sports barring Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. However, Baby Mario was seen competing in the soccer tournament mode while Baby Luigi is horse racing and it seems a bit silly to lock only these two guys separately in different modes. I'm certain they don't have much time to show everyone competing in every sport and it's a probably coincidence that they don't have enough room to showcase them off in others aside from one sport.
The rest of the characters you see, they're pretty much the generics. In soccer, for example, a map placement was shown. You can see Mario and Luigi's icon, alongside a bunch of generic blue dots which represent the generic characters. Boom Boom has his own unique banner, with him being represented by a hexagon rather than a circle like Mario and Luigi. Pom Pom should follow suit as she's similar to Boom Boom. In baseball, the generic character's icons are represented by a green circle behind them, also which the main characters lack; Boom Boom and Pom Pom lack them too, despite their unique status in soccer, so that pretty much means they're in a different tier of playable character outside from the Koopas and other generics as well as different from the main playable characters.
This means, soccer is technically 2-v-2, with the rest filling up with generics to make 11-v-11. Baseball was seen with only 2 captain-esque characters participating at a time at most in a team of the traditional 9 players, which means it's also logical to assume that only 4 player characters can be participating at a time with generics filling up slots.
If there's anything I missed, please point it out and it would be great if someone else also analyzed the video to see if my conclusions may be wrong.
