Pretty sure there is no kick off table in deathbowl |

The way Brian had drawn up the board (at least in the tourney book, and I think on the fields) the wide zone markers extend four squares past the LOS, and then cut in diagonally at a 45 degree angle for two squares, and connect to a box around the 4 center squares. This gives a nice look.
The boards that Brian made did not have the widezones extended past the LOS
I was at Glenn's today and I checked |

I remember seeing the wide zones setup thatway as well. I think it was just the DB Stadium. |

Oops, right there's no kick off table.
Wide Zone markers beyond the LOS are only for aesthetics if desired. I like Galak's interpretation. I gave that a quick and dirty edit to show the one that Brian had in the Tourney Rule book:

Brian's design doesn't even have widezones but many folks are asking for those lines ... so a bit of design to pull it together should be fine. However ... if I do that ... I'll probably go with the image I posted as I like that better than the lines X'ing into the middle.
Its pretty easy to ignore the extra lines on the pitch to have a fully functional mat.
I'll put it on the list to be worked on.

I like the way the design looks.
I also agree that people can use the lines to mean whatever they want depending on what precise rules they choose to use.

Thanks Rod those pics were very helpful.
So basically he brought in the wide zones and did a 90 degree bend. I like the diagonal a bit better ... give the board a nice pattern ... especially since the lines past the 4 LOS are really just decoration.
Also I'll be working on Elfball rules to go with this pitch design and since you cannot pass over white lines in Elfball ... having the diagonals will be better for that as well.
But those pictures really help ... took the design I posted on page 1 now and sent it off to the felt guy.
Thanks everyone for the input ... very much appreciated.
