- A RampsThe ramp that climbs from A Main onto A Site and is the main entry point. Calling it tells the team who is holding the top of the ramp and who is pushing up it.
- A RaftersA fallback spot beside A Tower, used by a defender who has been pushed off Ramps.

Playing it
Split A Site tips
- 01Take A Main and the Ramps before pushing the site. Holding the top of Ramps gives a wide view, but it is usually the first place defenders check on a retake.
- 02After taking A, clear A Tower (Heaven). A vent drops from there into Mid, so defenders can use it to rotate.
- 03On defense, put one player on Screens for information and one at the top of Ramps who falls back to Rafters when pushed. Watch for pushes coming up from Mid.
