IMO, it's pretty important to get this standardized right away, just because I foresee feeders having to signal these addresses to drivers across the field in a pinch, and they may not necessarily be on the same team as each other.
We had the same thought. We thought about using this approach with having an Analyst. I drew up a quick diagram with the letters across the top, the numbers down the side, and the preferred symbol grayed out in the box. That way the Analyst, who can be keeping track of what game pieces have been played can say "We need a white circle in B1." We thought we would label them A-F from left to right as the teams are looking at the field. I will do a mock up of the form shortly.
