Rugby league playing field
The rugby league playing field, also referred to as a pitch or paddock, is the playing surface for the sport of rugby league football and is surfaced exclusively with grass.
The dimensions and markings of a full-sized playing area are defined in Section 1 of the Laws of the Game. These Laws are the agreed upon and maintained by the Rugby League International Federation. The playing field is defined as "the area bounded by, but not including, the touch lines and dead ball lines" by Section 2. If the ball or any player in possession of it makes contact with the touch lines or dead ball lines or the ground beyond them it is deemed to be out of play.
The rugby league field also has markings to denote where restarts, such as scrums, should be placed.
A rugby league pitch (or field) is 68 m (74 yards) wide and 112–122 m (122–133 yards) long. The try lines (or goal lines) stand 100 m (110 yards) apart. On each one is a goal post that is 5.5 m (6 yards) wide and at least 16 m (17 yards) high, with a crossbar set 3 m (3.3 yards) above the ground. The distance from try line to dead-ball line is 6–11 m (7–12 yards).
The field of play is a fixed size – 100 m (110 yards) long and 68 m (74 yards) wide and does not include the line markings, meaning all touchlines and dead ball lines are considered out of play.
Near each end of the field is a goal line, or try-line; they are 100 m (110 yards) apart. A scoring area called the in-goal area extends 6–11 m (7–12 yards) from each try-line to each dead ball line.
Most play will occur within the field of play, this "is the area bounded by, but not including, the touch lines and goal lines".
When the team in possession of the ball is attempting to score a try, the goal line is included in the in-goal area, grounding the ball correctly on either is a try.
