Inbounds space

Julie, I'd say go with the line as per the restraining line rule.

If, however, you were to go with an arc, just remember that it would have to be a somewhat modified arc - what with the three foot "spot" for the inbounder. I think it's just easier to give the three feet the whole way (on a normal court, the defender can't cross the OOB line to block the pass if he's downcourt), with a reasonable exception for players 10-20 feet or more downcourt.

Okay, that seems like how I've seen it done and how it makes sense. It was the 10-20 feet distance that I was wondering about, and the restraining line does seem unenforceable that far away..

What's really, really tough is playing on one of those 55 foot floors where there are three different possible division lines, depending on which way you're going and how far you've gotten. Only done that once and I hope I NEVER have to do it again. YUCH!!
