When should a team calibrate?

Calibrate before play and repeat relevant checks after a station, boundary, sensor, or floor setup changes.

Calibration / procedure

Set the Reference Point

A calibration routine is a fairness check: it makes each station’s origin, floor and playable boundary deliberate and repeatable.

Run the same sequence at each station

Make calibration observable. One person performs the setup; another verifies the resulting position against a known reference.

Choose and record the origin

Use the same clearly identified point at each station. Confirm that the virtual forward direction matches the agreed physical direction and record any system-specific setup choice.

Calibration record

Check	Observation	Pass condition
Origin	Player returns to the marked stance	Virtual and physical reference agree
Floor	Standing and crouched poses	Floor remains consistent through both
Coverage	Turn, reach and low stance	No unexplained loss or jump
Repeat	Run the same movement twice	Endpoint is consistent enough to play

If a check fails, pause and isolate one change at a time. Changing several variables together makes the cause harder to identify.
