ACL feels that it would be better to provide wide markers in terms of bat distance as it would be easy for everyone to comprehend and measure. It would be 1 bat from the middle stump on the offside. Usually any ball on the leg side would be considered wide. This holds good for left handed batsman with the sides changed
Since most of all the matches are played on baseball fields, offside play area availability is limited. usually we keep 2 runs or 4 runs declared for direct hits on offside. The minimum/maximum boundary length is given in Rules/Rules addendum documents available @ www.atlantacricketleague.org ACL is currently working on to generalize the setup. Any changes to the boundary measurements will be notified to all the teams.
