Courts that are not standard
Some games are played in courts where every venue differs, so there is no single set of dimensions to draw.
Frescobol
Frescobol has no court or lines: players simply stand a comfortable distance apart on the beach.
Jokari
Jokari needs no court: the ball is tethered to a weighted base and played in any open space.
Longue paume
Ground dimensions vary; a commonly cited length is around 70 m but unconfirmed.
Matkot
Matkot has no fixed court: players rally on open sand, a few metres apart.
Paleta (Basque pelota)
Court length depends on the discipline: 30 m and 36 m frontons and trinquetes are used. Add each FIPV specification separately once verified.
Rackets
Rackets courts were built individually and differ in size; the figures are typical, not a standard.
Real tennis
Every real tennis court is different. They share a layout, with a sloping penthouse roof along three walls, galleries beneath it, the dedans behind the service end, the grille and the angled tambour at the hazard end, and chase lines marked across the floor, but the floor size, the placing of the openings and the tambour vary from court to court, because most courts were built individually over several centuries.
Tamburello
Field sizes vary; no single verified specification.
