To get into the frontcourt, you have to cross the extra line closest to your basket (not the center line), and then to have an over and back violation, you have to cross the line farthest from your basket.
Kind of weird the first few times we played there, but now everyone knows and it's no big deal.

I remember doing a few games in gyms like this. Visiting team there for the first time would invariably commit one or two back court violations before getting used to it. Home team coach was quick to remind an official about the rule in case the official should also forget about the rule.
