Tracée à partir du marbre, une ligne de démarcation (ligne de jeu) traverse le 1er but et le 3e but, séparant le territoire des bonnes balles du territoire des balles fausses. 8, record 1, French, - territoire%20des%20balles%20fausses
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'expression «zone nulle» n'a pas encore reçu la sanction de l'usage. Il y a lieu de préférer les expressions comprenant le terme «territoire» à celles composées avec le terme «zone», ce dernier étant plutôt lié à l'appréciation des lancers que fait l'arbitre derrière le marbre : «zone des prises», «zone des balles». Les expressions «territoire hors-ligne» et «hors-champ» sont moins usitées. 4, record 1, French, - territoire%20des%20balles%20fausses
Record 1, Key term(s)
