Title: CCA Free Kick Mechanics
Post by: JasonTX on July 03, 2023, 06:06:56 PM
Does anyone know why there was a change in 7-man crews for CCA on free kicks regarding the starting position for the U and B?  The B will now start opposite the pressbox and the U will start on pressbox side.  No change to 8 man.  It's opposite of 7 man.

The only thing I can guess is that it puts the B closer to the TV liaison.

I think you have that backwards, but I see there's a change and no, I have no idea why it changed.  Doesn't make any sense to change.

Ah, I see my error.  Regardless,  7 man and 8 man positioning for B and U, no longer match.
