It happened to me two years ago. I recognized my mistake immediately, declared an IW, and we carried on. Nobody minded. I suspect it wasn’t the first time the home coach saw that happen.

I have seen a few courts like this, you just have to notice it so that you do not get caught up. There is a could in Indiana that has two lines surrounding the division line and people make a big deal about how people mess up knowing which is the division line. Not sure why people that design these courts feel the need to put lines in certain places, but they do.
This was clearly not a BC violation and was likely caused by the court configuration. But change it and move on.
