Practice Field Ceiling Height

Hi Everyone,

Our team is looking into finding a space for a small practice field. Our old library is vacant/available so we were thinking about using this space. unfortunately the ceiling is only 9 or 10 ft high. Will this be high enough for training the payload specialists? How far will they be able to throw without hitting the roof, assuming they are shoot over the 6.5' alliance station wall?

Thanks

Re: Practice Field Ceiling Height

It depends on how tall your human player is. If he's/she's 6'+, the ceilings will probably be fine since he'll be able to throw at a low angle. If he's/she's short, more height would be nice because of the necessary arc.

Re: Practice Field Ceiling Height

When it comes down to it, any practice space is better than none.
If that space is your only option, take it. If you have other options, take the one that best simulates the game arena.
