Three feet deep,eh? As in NFHS rule 1-3-1? How wide are these spaces, Chuck?
Yeah, 1-3-1, although I didn't have the rulebook in front of me at the time. Is that not correct? It says 36 inches deep, so I think I got it right.

The book doesn't say how wide the space is, so I'm guessing that it's either: (a) shoulder-width of the player standing in it, or (b) just wide enough so that 8 people can fit around the circle.
