ASA - erasing a line

[gumpire]

I called a batter out for out-of-batter's-box in a tournament and his teams response was that since there were no lines, there was no batter's box.

My reply - so if we wipe out the base/foul lines are there no foul balls?

With or without lines ... there's always a batter's box. And I know where it is because I studied the book.
