Team Distribution Overlay Model

Team Distribution Overlay Model reference article.

Overview

A model for showing how each team is spread across the field at different points in time.

Key Points

  • Tracks spatial relative positioning.
  • Compares team layouts neutrally.
  • Avoids value judgments.
  • Useful for spatial flow studies.
  • Supports standardized data collection.

Details

The team distribution overlay model captures which bunkers and zones are occupied by each team at specific moments, creating snapshots of how the sides are arranged. These overlays show spacing and alignment between teams without saying whether a shape is good or bad. They provide a neutral record useful for comparing field usage across different layouts and eras.
