but what's the playing area ?
Yep, good question, with no across-the-board answer!
As you say, you can play tennis from "outside" the court, but in most
ball games, if the ball (& sometimes player) crosses the marked line,
that's out!
In cricket and soccer the ball and player can be 'outside' the marked
line but in the air. Only when the player touches the ground are they
'out'.
& then for cricket, the "cricket pitch" itself is a small rectangular
strip in the middle of the field, but the game uses the entire area of
the field, while the boundaries of the field are an essential feature
of the game.
Err cricket uses less area than Australian Rules Football and sometimes
the two cohabit a facility.
So the cricket 'field' will be smaller than that football field.
Where cricket and soccer occur together there are sometimes 2 soccer
fields with the cricket pitch in between the two soccer fields. The
cricket field does no take on the outer boundaries of the 2 soccer fields..
Does the 'playing area' of chess include the table and seats?
Then think of water and snow skiing...
