However, I think the on deck circle like the batter box and other things exist even if there is no visible line.

Several years ago, our local commisioner advocated "no circle/no in-deck batter", but no one I know worries about that these days. We do keep them away from the batterers box an foul line.

On the other hand, I don't agree that enforcing the next batter only rule as emphasized by my State Association is OOO.
