Pitcher's box in SP

[MD Longhorn]

Yes, that's rule 1.6 - rule 1.5 reads: 1.5 The Calvinball Field (See Calvinball Equipment - 2.3) should consist of areas, or zones, which are governed by a set of rules declared by players. Zones may be appear and disappear as often and wherever the player decides. For example, a corollary zone would enable a player to make a corollary (sub-rule) to any rule already made. Or a pernicious poem place would require the intruder to do what the name implies. Or an opposite zone would enable a player to declare reverse playibility on the others. (Remember, the player would declare this zone oppositely by not declaring it.)

Some leagues around here use a pitching zone, but that's only to allow the pitcher to start from further back (thus giving him/her more time to react to the batted ball). None of those leagues have a penalty for batting through this zone. Also, none of them seem to consider that pitching from the furthest part of that zone pretty much guarantees that the pitcher must deliver the ball at more than a moderate speed, but that's very typical of house rules.
