Quick tennis players and hulking NBA players seem to make their respective courts look small, but they cover some serious ground. Can you match the following twelve sports to the dimensions of their rectangular courts and fields?

[Note: some of this information appeared about a year ago in this blog in a different format, so if you've been reading that long, you would have an edge except that I made an error, which I will be kind enough to correct *after* this quiz.]
