Baseball as an example, in baseball, the distinction between home team and away team is mainly based on the arrangement of the playing field and offensive and defensive order, and the following are the specific differences and related rules:

1. Ownership of the venue

Home team: Playing in their own home stadium, they usually enjoy the advantages of familiarity with the venue and the support of the audience.

Away team: Travelling to the opponent's home stadium to play a game, you need to adapt to the away environment and spectator pressure.

2. Offensive and defensive sequences

Away Team First Attack: At the start of the game, the away team acts as the attacking team first (batting) and the home team plays the defending side (goalkeeping).

Home Team Back Attack: The home team attacks in the bottom half of each inning. For example, the away team attacks in the first half of the first inning, and the home team attacks in the second half.

Key takeaway: The home team attacks at the end of the second half of the game, and if the score is tied or behind, there is a chance to fight back in the last half of the game.

3. Schedule

Regular season: Usually equal number of home and away games. For example, a head-to-head series may consist of 3 home and 3 away games.

Playoffs: Teams with better records have more home-field advantage (e.g., 2-3-2 or 2-2-1-1-1 in a seven-game series).

4. Other rules are embodied

Course Selection: The home team has priority in choosing the rest area (usually on the first or third base, depending on the design of the field).

Timeouts & Challenges: The home coach's decision is final in certain circumstances (e.g. whether or not to suspend a game due to rain).

Submission of starting lineups: Home teams usually submit their starting lineup lists later for targeted adjustments.

5. Special Circumstances

Neutral venue: If the game is played on a third-party court (e.g., All-Star Game, overseas game), the home and away teams may be determined by draw or record.

Extra Time: The home team has the last chance to attack in the second half of extra time, under the same rules as in the regular inning.

Impact on the game

Psychological advantage: Cheering from the home crowd can boost morale, while the away team will have to deal with distractions.

Tactical adjustments: The home team is more familiar with the lighting, wind direction and field size of the game, which may affect the defensive formation or strike strategy.

The distinction between home and away teams not only clarifies the flow of the game, but also reflects the tradition and culture of "home field advantage" in baseball.
