I always thought that bob jenkins' post answer was a real rule. Guess not. But I still like his explanation, and, as usual, always listen to bob.

It sounds to me like you are talking about another issue then just a smaller court. It seems to me like you are talking about more the size of the FC area. If that is the case I have seen courts that provide an extra line that once the division line is crossed, the secondary line is to allow the offense room to move in the FC. I have worked on a court that had that configuration but it was more like a ground rule so the game could be played. But I have been on many courts where the length was never an issue in this area so we never needed a secondary line.
