Details
The home player occupies the back-center bunker at the start of a point. From this location, the player has a direct view of both flanks and the central corridor, allowing early observation of breakout patterns and immediate changes in field structure.
Home players assist teammates by communicating eliminations, pressure shifts, and available transitions. After completing their initial responsibilities, they often move to secondary bunkers to reinforce specific zones or maintain presence in areas that require additional support.
The role provides early organization for the formation and helps establish communication patterns that continue throughout the point. Its positioning contributes to managing the transition between the breakout and the developing structure of the field.
