SWOS field size
EDIT: OK, I checked it myself because you are lamers who don't even care. If 1 meter is 10 pixels (according to the penalty point which is 110 pixels from the goal in such scale), the penalty box is ~ 17 meters x 57 meters, the infield is 6 meters x 25 meters, the field is 128 x 102 meters and the goal is 3.5 meters x 14 meters. The player is 2.5 meters x 1 meter.
The real field size is ~ 16.5 meters x 40 meters for the penalty box, 5.5 x 18 meters for the infield, 120 x 90 (105 x 68 nowadays) for the field and 2.5 meters x 7.5 meters for the goal.
So it's unpropotional. To make it more accurate, the SWOS field should be 128/85 (which would be more than maximum so 120x80, but simply 105 x 68 in nowadays size would make it half of the current field!). The other parameters are standard, so the penalty box should be slightly shorter and narrower, the infield should be at least narrower and slightly shorter as well, the goal is twice the width and should be the height of a player! And the players are actually giants.
EDIT2: I've opend the field in another program and the penalty point was actually 70 pixels from the goal, which would make everything even different. The penalty box is ~ 16.5 meters x 54 meters, the infield is 5.5 meters x 22.5 meters, the field is 116 meters x 92 meters and the goal is 13 meters x 3 meters. Now I'm not 100% sure if it's accurate either. That would make the player 2.8 meters x 1.5 meter.

And apart from that, it's SWOS` magic that the dimension just look right.. even if they are not.
Interesting topic.

i remember arsenal had a smaller field, they were basically in the penalty box all the time on their stadium when i was watching them in champions league. but now official standard is 105x68 for the world cup etc. and not as big as local for international games
@sokratees9 not really because it wouldn't be proportional i guess, especially for the goals themselves
the 3 meter players are making 9 meter jumps :d
+ if you like to play football during your swos contests etc. you can make the pitch with the swos proportions lol

With the Amiga, you see up to 64% of the pitch horizontally on screen and 42% of the pitch vertically. But this brings me onto another question - taking the length of the pitch as 100m, what is the fastest that a SWOS player can run? As in meters/second, or indeed best time for 100m? What's the SWOS Men's 100m world record?

People on my screen are close to the tallest person ever: 2.72 m.
Yes, the aspect ratio of 1:0.81 could be accurate, I was relying on a screenshot. 100 m x 81 m is quite easy to picture.I was interested in this, and measured the pitch as well. I found that the pitch is 520 pixels wide from touchline to touchline (inclusive) and 642 pixels long (this is the playing area only, not including out of bounds). So the aspect ratio of a Swos pitch is 1 : 0.81, and if we were to 'normalise' the length at 100m long, it would be 81m wide. A little bit ''fatter" than most pitches.

I checked the "flight time" of an average skilled attacker from line to line, without ball. It was about 6 seconds (5.99 on stopwatch, but errors must be accounted for). Therefore, the 100 m record is about 4.8 seconds: twice faster than Usain Bolt.
Everything should be narrower and the goals are too tall. E.G., a standard pitch on World Cup is 1:0.65, 105x68 m.Ok, so all you are saying is the pemalty box should be deeper, and once that is done it would bring most of the other dimensions into proportion.

Yeah though even there, international legal pitch is 1:0.58 to 1:0.75.Forget the dimensions... Barcelona's pitch in Nou Camp for example is way bigger than for example Bayern's in the Allianz Arena. And apart from that, it's SWOS` magic that the dimension just look right.. even if they are not. Interesting topic.

Funnily, local is possible with 1:0.37 at least (120x45) and 1:0.99 at most, which is almost square (91x90 m)!
The SWOS 1:0.81 pitch is correct for the local pitch rules, though too long. Normally it would be 111x90 or, for example, 105x85.
