14D.3.1 Playing field dimensions
Comments about this discussion:
Started
We have discussed a lot about distances in different situations, which shall be uniformly 2 meters everywhere. I propose this distance shall be reflected in the playing field dimensions graphic of the rulebook. The graphic in the rulebook is by the way not to scale and should be improved.
Therefore i created some examples for a minimal playing field of 20m * 35m. Each cell in the used paper represents 2mx2m. You can see the images here:

2m-radius circles at the standard free shot spots: corners, 6.5, centre point

possible markings in the gym: crosses at the standard free shot spots and relevant points 2m from the board. With the additional crosses it is easier to determine where the 2m distance to the board is reached.

combination of circles and crosses.
I can imagine that most organisers will not mark these extra circles but i think it is important to include these distances in the graphic to visualise them raise the awareness to these distances.

We should include the newly proposed distance between the goal and the wall too, if that gets through.

2. picture: I see a benefit for marking 6 additional "crosses" (or) on the floor will be quick and better seen the 2m distance to the boards. This will take less than 5 min for set up the playing field. This should be easy added to the grafic in the rulebook. I support this idea, needs to set in words.
The 1. and 3. picture: Yes, it gives a good imagination e.g. for "training/taktic boards" or training the referees. But I don't believe host like to do such amount of marking on the floor - perhaps host on UNICONs or other several days lasting tournamants on the same field will do this additional circle marking.

An administrative note regarding the figure: If a variant has been agreed here, please post a “final” hand drawing - I would then create a LaTex drawing from it, which could also be included in the rulebook. This graphic could also be linked in an official proposal so that the final graphic could be voted on.

I like option A, but I think the circles showing the radius should be in greyscale or dashed lines. There should also be a legend that explains these circles are only to show the required distance between players during free shots, and they do not need to be marked on the ground.
I also like the 2-meter line shown from the sidelines.
The "X" marks are good for the center mark, the 6.5-meter marks, and the corner marks. These are exact places where free shots will be taken from.
For the marks that are 2 meters in from the sideline, there is no exact spot where free shots will be taken. So, I think the "T"-shaped marks used in option B are better here.
I think we should use the "T"-shaped marks from option B for the sideline points, instead of the "X"-shaped marks used in option A.
