Frequently asked questions

What is centre-to-centre line marking?

Centre-to-centre means every measurement is taken to the middle of the painted or taped line, not its edge. The tape machine runs along that centre, so a 50 mm line sits 25 mm either side of the marked centre.

Are tennis court dimensions measured to the inside or outside of the lines?

Tennis court dimensions (ITF) are taken to the outside edge of the lines. A 23.77 m court with 50 mm lines is therefore 23.72 m from the centre of one baseline to the centre of the other.

Why is basketball different?

FIBA measures the 28 x 15 m court to the inside edge of the boundary lines, so the boundary lines sit outside those dimensions. With 50 mm lines the centre-to-centre length is 28.05 m.

What line width should I use?

Most courts are marked with 50 mm lines. Tennis allows 25 to 50 mm (baselines up to 100 mm), netball allows up to 50 mm and pickleball uses 2 inch (50 mm) lines. Change the line width and every dimension updates.
