I understand the rule and have just learned of it today but I agree with the call, though not to end a game that is hotly contested.

Wow! Talking about dredging up an old thread! 2 1/2 years old!!
WARNING - The ASA lookback rule has changed just a bit from when this discussion took place!
But, to answer your question, the 8-foot circle is always there (speaking fastpitch), but if it is unmarked, then whether the pitcher is inside the circle is a matter of umpire judgment.
