No guarantee of course that the drawing of the court is to scale, but if the
diameter of the half circle of the forbidden zone is scaled, it comes in at
5.8 m (actual dimension is of course 6 m, the 5.8 m is using a scale of
1:200 after zooming in on my monitor 200% ). At this scale, the length is 38
m. So the 40 m x 20 m dimensions could well be right. That is a big court
though, by any standards.

I was a bit concerned at first as a regulation handball court is played on a
court 40 by 20 feet (12 × 6.1 m) with either a single (front) wall, three
...(I don't play I just looked it up), but I don't think the sport
Tchoukball is played on a handball court, that's an entirely different
sport. The tchoukball court appears to be three times larger than a
regulation handball court but note the irony in the dimensions numbers.

What makes that even more amazing is that the second link goes to the
website of the United States Tchoukball Association. It's American metric!

Not a conversion is sight! That is truly amazing, and surely
demonstrates that Americans are quite capable of coping with raw metric
values without them having to be dumbed down.
