A little hard to explain, but anyone who has reffed on a small youth-sized court should know what I mean.

I think you mean a court as described in 1-3-2.
Generally you have to cross the line closest to your basket in < 10 seconds, but can then use the line closest to the opponent's basket as your "front court."
The best bet, though, is to ask that league (or experienced referees in that league) how they want it called.
