Walking the Field

You should always have your captain tell you where you should be, because he is the one that should be coming up with the strategies and will place his team in positions in order to accomplish those tasks. Then work from there.

Don't worry about how the enemy is going to kill you, worry how you're going to kill the enemy. Forget and you will end up fighting phantoms that don't exist, and your enemy has already won.

If you realize that your team has a weak spot while walking the field, don't tell anyone then, (because your time is limited) just reposition yourself a little closer. This way you can move to plug up a hole left when a player dies or to cover a flank attack; but still stay close to your original position so that it is still posible to accomplish the goals that your captain has given you. If you lose that game, or you feel insecure about the set-up, tell your captain and/or your team about your problem setting up in that game so that you can fix it by next game.

What you should do when you walk the field:

• Look for the position you will take first (according to where you think the enemy will be).
• Know what your personal objective will be in order to win the game.
• Try to figure out where the enemy will set up and position yourself accordingly to be able to eliminate their offensive plan.
• Find the position that you will advance to after the first, or possibly fall back to if needed.
• Know where you can set traps for the enemy.
• Get an overview of the field, new field or not.

The purpose to walking the field is to try to figure out where you have to go before the game. Plan out escape routes, plan out places to advance to, plan out where the probable conflicts will be. Walking the field is like reviewing a football play before putting the play to action.
