IBC under Participant Sports 
We've sprinklered perimeter seating around an equestrian ring, about the low 
point where the heads won't go off, but not the 90% of the building where they 
ride.
Doesn't have to make sense, it has to meet code.

Omit the sprinklers from the court. The building and fire codes have a 
provision for this so long as the exits discharge at grade etc.

I recommend an institutional sprinkler such as Tyco's Raven.  Locking 
escutcheon, designed to withstand tampering/vandalism.

What is the preferred method of protecting the Pendent Sprinklers in a 
racquetball court? The head guards from FPPI state that they are not designed 
for impact?
