For IAABO Eyes Only ...

My answer: Yes

Answer Sheet: No Page 45 Diagram (bottom)
“This box is set by the administering official before placing the ball at the disposal of thrower.”

So it’s a “box” not a “spot”?

But the actual rule definition says that it's a "spot".

Nowhere does the actual rule call it a "box".

4-42-6: The designated throw-in spot is 3 feet wide with no depth limitation and is established and signaled by the official prior to putting the ball at the thrower’s disposal.

Why am I wrong?

Thanks for trying to explain.

Indicates versus designates.

The Manual actually says "sets".

Did I really deserve to get this wrong?
