Transitional Phase Documentation

Transitional Phase Documentation reference article.

Overview

A way to record when a match moves from one visible phase into another using clear, observable cues.

Key Points

  • Separates match phases cleanly.
  • Based strictly on observable criteria.
  • Helps organize match structure.
  • Avoids subjective labels.
  • Useful for longitudinal research.

Details

Transitional phase documentation marks when the match clearly shifts from one state to another, such as from breakout chaos to a more stable standoff, or from a standoff into a final push. These transitions are defined by what can be seen, like changes in movement, spacing, or firing volume. The goal is simply to record that a change occurred, not to explain it.
