Field Shape Influence Mapping

Field Shape Influence Mapping reference article.

Overview

A mapping model that records how the layout and bunker shapes seem to influence visible movement and activity patterns.

Key Points

  • Maps geometry based tendencies.
  • Avoids tactical interpretation.
  • Works across all layouts.
  • Useful for field evolution studies.
  • Neutral and observational.

Details

Field shape influence mapping looks at how features like long lanes, clusters of bunkers, or open spaces appear to affect player movement and where engagements occur. It describes these patterns in neutral terms, such as noting that certain lanes are frequently used or certain zones often remain empty, without saying what teams should do about it.
