Why in thw world would you tell them where the OOB line is? I mean, I know that there are v-ball lines and additional court lines on some floors but I've never seen a court where it wasn't obvious which lines were the main boundary lines.
Well, I'm sorry it's a pet peeve, but it's the only question that I get repeatedly asked at captains' meetings. Nobody asks about rules. Nobody asks whether we're calling handchecking. The only question that I seem to get asked is, "Blue line, ref?" So I guess I just answer it ahead of time.

Maybe it's just poor design in my area, but many of floors have so many markings that it's -- I won't say difficult -- confusing if you haven't played there regularly.
