set position

Ready starting posture

Set position refers to a fixed or predetermined location, posture, or arrangement.

In dance and gymnastics, it's the starting stance before movement begins.

In sports, it's a player's assigned spot on the field.

In technology, to set position means to establish coordinates or placement: The GPS sets your position on the map.

The phrase emphasizes that something has been deliberately placed rather than left to chance.
