The confines aren't just what's inside the fence. They also include areas outside the fence that players could use for warming up and are within your view. In other words, if you can see it, you have the authority to deal with it.

I guess I have always thought that edge of DB territory is the outer limit of the "confines" of the field and I don't make it a point to look beyond that limit. Am I being underofficious because of this? {seriously asking, not trying to belabor the point}

As it relates to game participants, yes, you are being underofficious.

As it relates to fans, parents, etc., you have it right.
