Lacrosse, rugby, Australian football, Gaelic games, cricket, field hockey and handball

Seven field sports, each drawn to scale from its own current rulebook: sport: "lacrosse" (World Lacrosse's men's and women's fields and its box floor, the NCAA's men's and women's fields, the PLL's field and the NLL's floor), "rugby" (World Rugby's Law 1 for union; the NRL's and the IRL's playing field for league), "afl" (the AFL's Laws of Australian Football), "gaelic" (the GAA's field, for football and for hurling), "cricket" (the Laws of Cricket and the ICC's playing conditions), "fieldhockey" (the FIH's Rules of Hockey) and "handball" (the IHF's Rules of the Game for Indoor Handball). Every figure is cited, rule by rule, in sources.md. They lie wide, with the teams' names at the ends and the score in the middle; orientation: "portrait" lays them tall.

import { drawKyogijo } from "@johnmorrisdotca/kyogijo-stadiums";

const rugby = drawKyogijo({ sport: "rugby" });
const ground = drawKyogijo({ sport: "afl", field: { ground: "mcg" } });
console.log(rugby.includes('data-sport="rugby"'), ground.includes('data-sport="afl"'));
// true true
console.log(rugby.match(/viewBox="([^"]*)"/)?.[1], "|", drawKyogijo({ sport: "rugby", orientation: "portrait" }).match(/viewBox="([^"]*)"/)?.[1]);
// -16.4 -16.4 426.51 262.47 | 0 0 262.47 426.51

The figures#

Each is the rulebook's, in the unit it prints first: metres for World Rugby, the NRL and the IRL, the AFL, the GAA, the FIH, the IHF and World Lacrosse's fields; yards for cricket's pitch and boundary, the NCAA's men's field and the PLL's; feet for the box floor. Where a rulebook gives a range, the range is kept and a size inside it is drawn (the greatest, unless this says another): field.length and field.width ask for another.

import { dimensionsOf, surfaceSize } from "@johnmorrisdotca/kyogijo-stadiums/geometry";
import { LEAGUES, leagueFigures, leagueSize } from "@johnmorrisdotca/kyogijo-stadiums/leagues";

console.log(surfaceSize("handball"), dimensionsOf("fieldhockey", "m").circleRadius);
// { length: 40, width: 20, unit: 'm' } 14.63
console.log(leagueFigures(LEAGUES.rugby[1]).slice(0, 2).map(([name, value]) => `${name}: ${value}`).join("; "));
// field of play: 100 m by 68 m; in-goal: 8 m deep
console.log(leagueFigures(LEAGUES.cricket[0]).slice(0, 2).map(([name, value]) => `${name}: ${value}`).join("; "), leagueSize("rugby", "nrl"));
// pitch: 22 yd by 10 ft; bowling crease: 8 ft 8 in long { length: 116, width: 68, unit: 'm' }

The leagues, the sport's own first:

Options#

import { drawKyogijo } from "@johnmorrisdotca/kyogijo-stadiums";

const short = drawKyogijo({ sport: "rugby", units: "m", field: { length: 94, width: 68, inGoal: 6 } });
console.log(short.match(/viewBox="([^"]*)"/)?.[1]);
// -16.4 -16.4 380.58 255.91
const refused = (): string => {
  try {
    return drawKyogijo({ sport: "afl", units: "m", field: { length: 190 } });
  } catch (error) {
    return (error as Error).message;
  }
};
console.log(refused());
// The length of 190 m is outside what the rules allow: 135 to 185 m

A score#

Rugby, lacrosse, field hockey and handball write a score as every other surface does: the team's score, its name painted at its end (in a rugby field's in-goal areas, in the teams' colours) and the score in the middle. The others write it their own way.

• Australian football writes goals, behinds and the total: a team's goals and behinds are written 10.12 (72), a goal being 6 and a behind 1. The total is worked out unless the team gives a score.
• Gaelic games write goals, points and the total: a team's goals and points are written 2-14 (20), a goal being 3 and a point 1.
• Cricket has a board, as curling and the net sports have: a team's score is its runs, wickets the wickets it has lost, written 245/6, and overs the overs it has faced; for a match of more than one innings, innings is each innings as "312" or "178/4". innings-2 (or "Innings 2", or 第2イニング) is a status.

import { drawKyogijo, statusLabel } from "@johnmorrisdotca/kyogijo-stadiums";

const afl = drawKyogijo({
  sport: "afl",
  away: { name: "Harbour City Gulls", abbr: "HCG", goals: 10, behinds: 12, color: "#1d4f91" },
  home: { name: "Prairie Ridge Bison", abbr: "PRB", goals: 9, behinds: 14, color: "#a8452c" },
  status: "final",
});
console.log(afl.includes("10.12 (72)"), afl.includes("Harbour City Gulls scored 10 goals and 12 behinds."));
// true true
const cricket = drawKyogijo({
  sport: "cricket",
  away: { name: "Harbour City Gulls", abbr: "HCG", score: 245, wickets: 6, overs: "50", color: "#1d4f91", innings: [245] },
  home: { name: "Prairie Ridge Bison", abbr: "PRB", score: 187, wickets: 10, overs: "41.2", color: "#a8452c", innings: [187] },
  status: "final",
});
console.log(cricket.includes("245/6"), cricket.includes("Harbour City Gulls: 245 runs for 6 wickets in 50 overs."));
console.log(statusLabel("innings-2"), statusLabel("innings-2", "ja"));
// true true
// Innings 2 第2イニング

• Winners. final decides the winner by the total (the runs, or the goals and behinds worked out); a level game has none.
• The sizes. size: "badge" is the strip, with the field as its picture; size: "compact" is the surface with that strip under it. A cricket ground has no place to paint a team's name, so its board names the teams.
• The description says each team's goals and behinds (or points), or its runs, wickets, overs and innings, as well as the score, so that a reader who cannot see it has it.

Ranges, zones and frames#

Each sport has named ranges (display ranges): rugby half, twenty-two (union) or twenty (league) and in-goal; lacrosse half and crease; Australian football half, forward-fifty and centre-square; the Gaelic games half and large-rectangle; cricket pitch and, where the league has one, circle; field hockey half, circle and twenty-three; handball half and goal-area. A range the league has not is an error that says so.

The zone set field-thirds counts a data layer's marks into the thirds of a field, from the team's own end, for every sport but cricket; cricket-ground counts them into the pitch, the ground inside the fielding circle and the outfield (data layers). The thirds are ours; the rules name the lines, not the areas.

Each sport has a frame of its own, named like the sport: the centre of the surface as the origin, x along it (positive towards the end drawn at the right) and y across it (positive towards the top as it is drawn wide), in metres, and in yards for cricket, fitted to the size the surface is drawn at (coordinate frames).

import { toSurface } from "@johnmorrisdotca/kyogijo-stadiums/frames";

// The middle of the right 22-metre line of a rugby field 120 metres long with its in-goal areas: 28 metres to the right of the centre.
console.log(toSurface([[28, 0]], { from: "rugby", size: { length: 393.7, width: 229.66, unit: "ft" } }));
// [ [ 288.7135170603674, 114.83 ] ]

The looks and the features#

A field sport is painted from the look's base, so the eight named looks apply to it (theming): grass (the default), night, chalkboard, blueprint, print, broadcast, high-contrast and line-drawing, each held to the same contrast as the others. Handball's floor and a hockey pitch's turf are our blues, with the goal areas in orange: no rulebook prints a colour. featureColors names each part: FEATURES.rugby has the try lines, the 22-metre lines and the dash lines, FEATURES.cricket the pitch, the creases and the circle, and so on.

What is not drawn#

World Rugby's technical zones (a diagram's labels, whose place along the touchline is not given); the NRL's media line (it gives no length) and the benches; the AFL's interchange area (its width, not its place, is in the Laws; the diagram puts it on a wing) and the nine-metre line of the diagram of Law 20; the GAA's substitution zone (5 m either side of the centre line, on the sideline); cricket's wide guidelines and protected-area indicators (Appendix C), the sight screens and the run-ups; the FIH's run-off areas; the IHF's coaching zone, the bench and the table; the lacrosse benches, the penalty boxes and the timer's table of every book.

The PLL's figures are those of its 2024 rulebook, the newest that could be read; its later books were not found. A size the AFL's own page prints outside the Laws' range, Adelaide Oval's 190 metres, is left out of the named grounds. No sport is left out for want of a citable figure.
