An attempt at putting a structure and formality in the game...

In order to make a system out of it, we shall invoke an abstract, idea called game where we have the ideal players . By ideal we shall mean a player who is fit, healthy, and operates at optimal level. These players are rather like the video game players or comic book heroes who make the utmost of their body and skill. By ideal we don't mean an ideal height of 6'7" per se but rather one who is proportionally built like the NBA players. In this universe, we have a grid or field which has zones. We shall use the words opponents instead of nations or teams or countries to give it an aloof, ideal, abstract structure. Commentators like Peter Kirsten, if I may recall right, talked about rhythm which may loosely mean to connect more often. By connect we shall denote any idea similar to basketball shooting, sniper hunting it;s call like a programmed automatic machine, to muay thai punch landings at the right moments. This gives us timeframe. Players should be aware of the space and time around them and be aware of the atmosphere (I have decided to avoid the cutesy ambience, milieu or environ). For visualization exercises in sports psychology department it's crucial the player has idea of this because the atmosphere there in the stadium is clearly different than his mundane affairs, the temperature changes, chantings...chaos. Anyhoo back to formality...The game has mechanics by which we mean the plot or to use the formal term algorithms operating at programmed way. We shall use the idea of offense and defense and by defense we don't mean going passively because that is the converse of aggressive. We shall use the word strength and energy. By energy we mean how fast net players coordinates or interacts and how economically they use it. Coordination invokes idea of interplay amongst various points. We use the word logistics an emphatic substitute for strategy. Commentators also have used the word shape and geometry in addition to the obvious line and length....duh. We will use the concept of halves to divide the game into two innings. Pitch has character. We will talk about errors and numbers. We will use the word attack or defend. Weather is another term. So are day and night. There are notions of motion, momentum and swings. There is counterplay. There is the idea of form borrowed from martial arts which loosely conjures up the perfect kata or poise or stance, etc. Passis a better formal term than throw the ball. We also have the general idea of options. There is simulation of the game. Etcetera.... ব্লাহ।

Edit: Please input as many formal ideas you can. Kind of like wikipedia participation.
