Squamish
A sport played in portions of the Gateway and Crucis Margin sectors towards the coreward parts of Charted Space.
Description (Specifications)
Playing Field
- The flutney is the playing field for Squamish. It is circular rather than the original pentagon and is 120 meters in diameter.
- The flutney is divided into five equal segments called Wedgies that radiate from the center of the field. Each wedgey is divided into a left and right half down the center of it. The inner and outer circles (see below) at the center of the field are not divided as part of the Wedgies.
- Centered on the dividing line of each wedgey at the outer edge of the field is a goal area called a Wicket. The wicket is a half circle ten meters wide and five meters deep at the center.
- Circles are marked on the field from the center as follows:
- Inner circle: 5 meters
- Outer circle: 10 meters
- Deep Brooder line: 20 meters
- Shallow Brooder line: 40 meters
- Tradition has it that the field should be painted in alternate red and black adjoining segments with the inner circle being red, the outer black, and all lines on the field being white.
