Details
A reference bunker is any bunker that players use as a visual point of orientation on the field. Because speedball layouts are symmetrical and fast moving, players rely on consistent reference points to understand enemy movements, identify threats, and make accurate callouts.
Players may say “He’s at the corner,” “Home bunker,” or “Dorito 2,” all of which refer to reference bunkers that everyone on the team understands. These markers help players aim lanes, predict lines of fire, and coordinate rotations without needing perfect visibility.
Reference bunkers streamline communication, reduce hesitation, and improve teamwork, especially during chaotic situations where quick decisions matter most.
