DIAGRAM 1. The Standard Court. The corners are depicted by roman numerals. The yard-line, indicated by dashed white lines and baulk-lines are not marked on the court. All distances are in yards.

(b) DIAGRAM 1. This diagram depicts the setting for the standard court and together with its accompanying explanations is part of this law.

(c) COURT REFERENCES . The four boundaries are known as the south, west, north and east boundaries regardless of the actual orientation of the court. The corners of the court are known as corners 1, 2, 3 and 4.

(d) YARD-LINE. YARD-LINE AREA, CORNER SPOT, CORNER SQUARE . The perimeter of an inner rectangle parallel to and distant one yard from the boundary is called the yard-line, its corners the corner spots and the space between the yard-line and the boundary the yard-line area. The square yard formed at each corner by the two corner pegs, the corner spot and the corner flag is called a corner square (see Diagram 2).

DIAGRAM 2. The Corner Square.

(e) BAULK-LINES . The parts of the yard-line that extend from the corner spots at corners 1 and 3 and terminate on a line extended through the centres of hoops 5 and 6, and thus measure 13 yards, are known as the A and B baulk- lines respectively.

(f) THE STANDARD SETTING . The peg (see Law 2 (a) ) is set in the centre of the Court. There are six hoops (see Law 2(b) ) which are set parallel to the north and south boundaries; the centres of the two inner hoops are 7 yards to the north and south of the peg; the centres of the four outer hoops are 7 yards from the adjacent boundaries.

(g) PERMITTED TOLERANCE . All court dimensions of 7 yards or more in this law are subject to a tolerance of plus or minus 6 inches, provided that the peg lies on the lines joining the centres of hoops 1 and 3, 2 and 4, and S and 6, and that the baulk-lines still terminate on a line extended through the centres of hoops 5 and 6.
