Would i be able to get this football pitch accepted?

Its one of 3 large football pitches and one small penalty spot pitch in a park the penalty spot pitch is already a wayspot and one of the three football pitches is a wayspot. Can i get the second football pitch thats in the centre of the park accepted or does that one football pitch count as all of them making my nomination a duplicate?

Heres the location 52.918432,-1.196697

Basically I would argue.. no. I think reviewers (in the UK at least) will accept one wayspot per sports field, but not one for each pitch on that field. If the pitch is physically distinct from the others then maybe.

Your chances of another pitch being supported depends on how the existing wayspots are named?
Ideally you want the ‘penalty spot pitch’ called that or ‘practice pitch’ or similar and then the main pitch to be ‘Pitch 1’. If not, you could submit a title edit. If accepted this gives you the opportunity to name the others ‘Pitch 2’ and ‘Pitch 3’ to help show that they are distinct from one another.

I agree that the title for sports fields that are in complex areas are important. If there isn’t any official names, just numbering them will do. If there are official numbers, as some sports clubs may give them numbers or letters, try and see if you can find any info online. I just nominated a baseball field last week in a 4 field complex that is labeled Southwest 3 or SW3 on the signs there, and the names were listed with the local youth baseball club. I was also able to get Southeast 1’s title corrected to reflect it’s Southeast 1.

Those are the two that are already wayspots and my nomination was called Leyton Crescent Recreation Ground Football Pitch #2. You can also clearly see all of the football pitches markings and individual goal posts so i thought this would’ve been good enough to get it accepted

You didn’t post your title for the rejected nomination, but since one of the pitches has a direction in it, this may be the route to go. Maybe the other fields are to the north, maybe one is in the middle, maybe one is more to the southeast or northwest, etc.

There’s a park where I live with 3 soccer fields, and they were all just named after the park, when one is at the north end, one is in the middle, and one is at the south end. I submitted title edits for those, to tell them apart, based off of where they were located in the park.

Heres my rejected nomination. I’ll probably give it another go and see how it ends up

I would take note of what @shritwod has said it is more common in the U.K. to not submit multiple pitches as they are usually not clearly distinguished by a formal number.
Having said that and having looked at satelitte view, I would title it
Leyton Cresc North Football Field. And describe it as a full size football pitch suitable for league matches.
I find the penalty shot description unusual. It looks like a single small size set of goals for kids to have a kick about at, which is totally valid but it might be making people wonder what is going on.
It’s hard to see your picture clearly but it would help to see both set of goals. Maybe a picture from the other end would be better at caputuring the difference, and a supporting that includes the buildings better might help.

On topic how many would i be able to nominate at this playing field at this location 52.909048,-1.162512. I think theres 6 football pitches and 2 cricket fields. One of those cricket fields is already a wayspot
