In 1924, it was decided to standardize the court width for the hardball games at 18 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet (5.6 m), with a 'tin' at the bottom of the front wall which was 17 inches (430 mm) high—whereas the British version of the game was played on a 21-foot-wide court (6.4 m), with a 19-inch 'tin' (480 mm).
The dimensions are quite similar to the official squash tennis court. The only required modifications are the addition of a 4.5-foot (1.4 m) back wall line (in N. American squash the back wall line is 6.5 feet or 2.0 metres from the floor) and the center court line on the floor.
