Back (Backline)

Backline players occupy bunkers located near the rear of the field. Their field view allows them to monitor broad areas and communicate information related to eliminations, pressure shifts, and changes in opponent positioning. These observations help guide how the formation evolves throughout the point.

During early engagements, back players maintain lanes that influence which bunkers opponents can reach during the breakout. As the point progresses, they modify their focus to support teammates attempting to gain ground or to reinforce areas experiencing pressure.

The role contributes to stabilizing the team’s structure. Back players identify gaps created by trades, guide positional adjustments, and help maintain continuity across the field. Their consistent posture supports both defensive and offensive transitions.

Backline players also serve as communication anchors, relaying information across both wide and central zones. They assist in synchronizing decisions made by front and mid players based on developing conditions.

The position requires steady output, broad field interpretation, and the ability to maintain coverage throughout varying stages of the point.
