Dimensions of court[edit]

Is the court one-third or one-quarter the size of a conventional tennis court? The article appears to make both claims. Eric Corbett 14:22, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this - the court is 1/3 the size of a tennis court and I'll update. Sara LanthierAPTA (talk) 17:54, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually just checked it. Platform tennis court is 1/3 - Paddel (in other sports) is 1/2) = Sara LanthierAPTA (talk) 17:56, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's still a discrepancy - the 'Development' section lists that the court grew to it's final size of 1/4, followed by the next section which says 1/3.Joecycle (talk) 14:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
