Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience?

[peter0425]

It will be no matter if players will be focus on the goals but I think the game will be more different since there's no crazy crowds will clap or curse them for their playing style at that time so provably this will be equal, But although that would be the angle of plays still for sure the court familiarity will still show up since for sure you will get used to it when you are playing on your home court.

It will be equal, yes.. no other factor involve here and they are just playing in one venue.
That's why I've been longing for NBA to resume because I like to see them back in full action with no home court this playoffs.
it's a different playoffs and as a gambler, it's not hard to cap games as I don't need to analyze the home court advantage anymore.

Nice example since in Basketball Homecourt advantage is always been a factor and as a basketball player i know this is for real.

Looking forward as this also ,No fans Booing the visitors and no wide screams to distract the visitors making scores.

Crowds or audiences really make a difference sometimes, without it, you can't feel the excitement and pressure. But still, I guess there is a little advantage if you are being used to the court where you practice. This audience screams, cheers, or what, it won't work in some teams or players, they are trained physically and emotionally.

Still, that changes everything.

No profits for the homecourt, some players are also wanting to hype the crowd, give pressure and taunt the crowd, there are these players that shows who they really are when they are in front of thousands of people since there are a lot of players that give it to the crowd.

Either it works or it doesn't, it is gloomy in there with just these players running back and forth to the court. Still, we can't really argue about it since it is for the players, the management, and the viewer's safety.

Athletes get buffs from it.

But it's not like what we're thinking most of the time. In basketball, whenever the teams that we like are playing onto their home court. We feel that it's almost a sure win to them but it's not happening sometimes.

Playing within your own court really has an advantage but it doesn't mean that you will win automatically. Base on the statistics at the above part, 71% of the time home team wins and 29% of the time away wins.

Either way, players are adopted to a court where there are lots of people watching them play. Now they will adopt to a new normal where there are no audiences watching them. This will took a long time adopting the environment since they are playing with lots of audiences but now its the exact opposite of it. Right now with what is happening in the US, I don't know if most of them are ready to play inside the court already.

I'm mostly thinking about the favor of the crowds.

That's the biggest advantage that a team that plays on their home court. As for the new normal, they have to play if they want to but they are not oblige. They will get used to it sometime.

Depends on the games mainly, but I don't see much difference between home team and away team if there is no cheer up from audience so it will keep the pressure down so everyone play their real game.And I don't think it is a good idea to bring visitors to the games for now especially when the second way is showing signs on many countries which could be more dangerous than the previous one.

If nothing else, they can totally focus on their game.
I guess it is better to see their real performance without the audience.
The loud noise and everything, it somehow affects their performance.
Now, we will see what stats will give in terms of home team vs away team.
Does it really matter in the game?

We need to concern about the second wave that might happen anytime because people now become not serious about the current situations. If we cannot consider that, then it might be a chance for us to see the increase of the infected people.

But no matter what the sport is, as long as the sport is something play in the stadium, that can make many people want to watch directly. But in this situation, people need to consider not coming to the stadium before the sports event staff announces that they can handle everything in the stadium.

It's still an advantage! Yes the crowd is gone but the players will still have a advantage knowing that the court or stadium is what players are familiarize with. The advantage will not be same amount as before but still, the outcome of the game will still be depends on the players on how good they are. Home court advantage is just taking a very small percentage on winning outcome of every game.

There's a big advantage knowing that a team will play on their side. However, it's real that the performance will still determine whoever will be the match-winner.

That's the belief of most of us when we're younger. The home court is equaled to win already but that's part of my wrong belief.

They will not play in their home court, i don't know with other sports but for NBA, they will play in Disney World, Orlando when they resume next month.

So no one is familiar with this court.

The effect of a live audience is not even throughout the game and it can be felt more strongly when there is a lot at stake, for example if in a soccer match the teams reach the penalty shoot-outs in that case the team that is at home or that has the bigger number of fans in a neutral place will have an advantage as the fans will able to exercise a lot of pressure to the disadvantaged team, this is really important as it is known that most players can score their penalty kick without too much problem during practice but the pressure of doing it in front of so many people plus the responsibility that comes with it makes players to fail more often than they should.

We all know that psychological effect is also a factor in a competition, emotions are being considered too, it'll motivate and inspire you for the fans that's believing in you. Also, it's a shame if you lose on your own home, so it'll add spice and boost you up to make good gameplays. Everyone competing on sports tournament is a professional athlete, even a little factor like this, it still affects them.

It's not a belief tho, there's a statistic shows that home court will add a percentage on you winning the game. Then if you lose in a game, it means that you didn't make a lot of effort to win or it's just a bad day for you or there's a mismatch.

The Brisbane Broncos Rugby League team continue to be pounded into oblivion with their third defeat in as many weeks as the "home team" while playing under Covid No spectators conditions.  It'll be interesting to see what kind of results they put in now that a maximum of 2,000 spectators are allowed back into stadiums.

[panganib999]

I think even though there will be no live audience at the "new normal" set up of setting the live sports event just to make the postponed games make happen, home court will still took as an advantage because the psychological effect that knowing you were playing at your own court where you tend to spend most of your game plays and training will make you familiarize the place which is an advantage compared to playing on the opponent's place.

But that was just one factor affecting the result of the game. I think having the presence of live audience in the home court although it provides support do also provides pressure on the players due to crowd expectation that the home team will win the game. So I think it is better or best that sports event will take place on home courts even without the presence of live audience.

Home court advantage is not gonna be an additional recipe to win for the NBA anymore once they resume. Because, the NBA is playing in a single facility in Orlando without the crowd of course.
Psychologically, the players will not get to used of a very silent and peaceful atmosphere inside the gym while playing at a high level. Thus, it will decrease the intensity and pressure in the game.

There's no denying the home court is somehow an advantage. What makes it more effective is the home crowd cheering for their home team.

Well, i agree to that and to think yourself as a player then you would really able to tell the difference playing on a place where theres crowd and if there's none.

As a player then you should really get used to it on where playing yourself at its best without minding the deafening silence around.This is the new normal and you should make yourself get used to it.

A few days ago where i do see boxing matches without no crowd where you can really say as a viewer that its somewhat boring to watch when theres no crowd interaction.

Not for me because I understand the situation, I would not look for a kind of fight like what we are seeing before the pandemic, if we can accept the reality are we really are a fan, I think somehow we can still enjoy watching the fight or the game live in TV.

You are right!

We dont have any choice even though its really odd but at least we are seeing the sports that we do love even if we are still on the pandemic situation.
we should appreciate into our favorite players that do still continue to give out entertainment even they do know that they do risk out their health
just for their fans globally.Home court advantage is no more but i dont see for it to be a big factor for players performance.

Obviously, because we are not used to watching on that kind of setup, there are changes in our viewer's point of view.

Boring might it be to others but there's a reason why it turned out like that so in my case, that wouldn't be totally boring at all.

After all, we can expect that kind of setup for I think a year/s so soon everyone will be used to that.

[BuNga_cute]

It is true that playing at home court is no longer an advantage, because a pandemic situation requires matches without a live audience.
But this is not an obstacle for players to give the best game, then for me it is not a problem just watching sports on television. The most
important thing is i can watching sports again after quarantine.And of course i can play sports betting again.

For some team players, the audience can give them more power to provide the best performance. They will miss the shouting of the audience that always provide support to them, no matter if they win or lose because the fan or audience knows that they already play well. Yes, it is good to hear that sports can continue in this pandemic, but the staff at the stadium must be careful.
