Wednesday 19th December 2012:

How many straight white lines are needed to mark-out a regulation football pitch?

 

[Superted]

I count 17

4 for the boundary
3x2 for each goal square
3x2 again for the penalty box
1 for the half way line

 

[Mr. Green]

I count 17

4 for the boundary
3x2 for each goal square
3x2 again for the penalty box
1 for the half way line

nice counting...hehe, i could only imagine the 3x2 required for both bench areas do not count as part of a football pitch.

 

[THFC6061]

4 for the boundary
3x2 for each goal square
3x2 again for the penalty box
1 for the half way line

No, not 17.

 

[he_is_you_know]

21? Superted's plus the 10 yard (?) lines that indicate how far you've to be away from corner kicks.

 

[THFC6061]

21? Superted's plus the 10 yard (?) lines that indicate how far you've to be away from corner kicks.

You're almost there.

Re-think how many of those corner lines are needed.

 

[he_is_you_know]

Ah, 25 then.

 

[THFC6061]

Ah, 25 then.

Yes, 25: Centre line, two touchlines, two goallines, six six-yard lines, six penalty area lines and eight corner lines.

In addition, six lines are needed to mark-out the technical areas (if required) and circular or part-circular lines are needed to complete the pitch markings.

 

[Superted]

What are these corner lines you speak of?

 

[THFC6061]

What are these corner lines you speak of?

A mark may be made off the field of play, 9.15 metres (10 yds) from the corner arc and at right angles to the goal line to ensure that this distance is observed when a corner kick is being taken.
