The whole system we use is only accurate if all lines we use do not elbow anywhere, and they are all parallel or perpendicular where required.

In addition, when measuring, the links have to parallel to the sideline.

That's why I'm thinking about developing a system to remove the need for the chain crew to come out: have 4 transceivers at the back corners of the EZ. The U has a clicker (something like a baseball counter) and when a measurement is needed, simply places the clicker at the front of the ball, and the 4 transceivers quadangulate the position of the ball and tell you if it's a 1D or not. Accuracy is 100% guaranteed.
