Yes, that exception is for Group A-3 Occupancies, which would fit for
this type of application.  Just take a look at section 903.2.1.3 (2006)

I believe there is an exception in the building code (IBC 2000 or
later), which allows the omission of sprinklers from a ground level
sport court, in a type II or III building when fully sprinklered. Look
for that exception, and take it to the AHJ.

Subject: Racquetball court


Ok guys I need some help. I am trying to find a head that could be used
in a racquetball court. It has to be a sidewall head because to top of
the court is the roof. The court is 20' wide which means I probably need
an extended coverage head. I have talked with Tyco and he had no
suggestions. I know these courts have been around for years so at some
point someone has sprinkled them Any help would be great.
