Positions
There are 5 types of positions but 8 players can be in the court.
Center - He is the centerfield and the quarterback of the team. He is the playmaker and supposed to draw as much attention away from the real action. Even still, the Center is as highly capable as scoring as any other position.
Wing - The Wing are the star players of offense. Their job is to bust through the defense and score points. While they must be physically tough, their most important attributes should be speed, agility, and elusiveness.
Skill - The Skill is the athlete's position. He is regarded as the last resort on both offense and defense. His main job is to get good field positions for his team. These players should have large amounts of stamina and toughness.
Guard - These players are the pressure of the game. They make sure the game has a fast tempo and try to screw up the rhythm of the opposing team. They are also the first line of defense and also crucial to the offense.
Tackle - These are the biggest players in the arena. They are the blockers and roadblocks that create chaos on the field and obscure the center's vision. They are on the same line of defense and offense as the Guards.
Formations
Formations maximize the effectiveness of the team. They should key the strong points of the team. Formations can confuse the other team, causing erratic and wrong decisions. Even the weakest team can defeat the strongest team if they use their formation to the maximum potency.
