I was just wondering...

[UmpJM]

I received an e-mail a short while ago from a "new guy" in my association who asked for clarification on whether the "foul lines" were considered to be part of fair or foul territory under FED rules.

I assured him that the "foul lines" were ENTIRELY in Fair Territory and then went to look up the appropriate cite from the FED rule book.

Imagine my surprise when I could find nothing in the FED rule or case book that explicitly said the lines were in/part of fair territory.

So, I was just wondering if I am simply being dense, or if there really is nothing in the FED rules that explicitly says the lines are in fair territory.

Has anybody got a rule or case book reference?

Thanks.

JM
