Line centers
Pickleball values use the center of a 2 in painted line. A 44 ft by 20 ft finished court becomes a 43 ft 10 in by 19 ft 10 in centerline rectangle.
Host-court caution
Existing tennis and basketball lines may not be square, visible, or regulation. Confirm the host before using it as the only layout reference.
