RULE I
SEC. 2. The Playing Court shall be marked by well defined lines, which shall be not less than 2 inches in width and which shall be at every point at least 3 feet from any obstruction. The lines on the long sides of the court shall be termed the Side Lines, those on the short sides, the End Lines. Wherever possible, the margin out of bounds should be 10 feet. (See diagram on opposite page)
SEC. 3. The Center Circle shall have a radius of 2 feet and it shall be marked in the center of the court. A diameter parallel to the end lines shall be drawn in this circle. The line shall be 2 inches wide. A second circle concentric with the center circle shall be drawn with radius of 6 feet and marked with a line 2 inches wide. The radius shall be measured to the outer edge of the line used marking it. (See diagram on opposite page.)
SEC. 4. The court shall be divided into two parts- by extending the diameter of the center circle in both directions until it intersects the side lines. The line described in this section shall be termed the Division Line.
SEC. 5. The Free Throw Lanes shall be areas laid out at each end of the court. Each lane shall be bounded by two lines 6 feet apart, equidistant from the side lines and parallel thereto. These parallel lines shall be terminated and the lane further bounded by the major arc of a circle having a 6-foot radius with its center equidistant from the side lines and 17 feet from the inner edge of the end line. The minor arc of this circle (the part lying between the parallel lines) shall be a broken line.
Spaces shall be provided on the free throw lanes to aid in placing players during free throws. These spaces shall be lettered "H" for the home team and "V" for visiting team.
SEC. 6. A Free Throw Line shall be drawn across each of the circles described in Section 5. It shall be 1 inch in width, and extend parallel to and at a distance of 17 feet from, the inner edge of the end line.
