Yep, good question, with no across-the-board answer!

As you say, you can play tennis from "outside" the court, but in most ball
games, if the ball (& sometimes player) crosses the marked line, that's out!

& then for cricket, the "cricket pitch" itself is a small rectangular strip
in the middle of the field, but the game uses the entire area of the field,
while the boundaries of the field are an essential feature of the game.

I guess it should best be mapped depending on the game involved, & in some
cases e.g. a cricket pitch in the middle of a football field:

mean having two (Or more!) separate pitches mapped on top of each other!

Thanks
