Long Bomb Range in Squares

13 squares up, 1 square to the left, 1 square to the right. Right? I have a template I snagged from the old Specialist Games website back when it was still up in the BB resources section that had a very good throwing range in squares that showed this. The video game even does it that way, too, but we know that system isn't infallable, unfortunately.. The other day, maximum range was challenged (the coach was trying to throw further than the Long Bomb range on the template) and I have to make positive about the range in squares so that it doesn't happen again, or at the very least we can come to an agreement based on the majority of what is considered correct. Cheers, guys!

sure about the passing table? saw this one yet various times but after measuring over and over I get a slightly different one:

well, it only differs in (6,3) (and (3,6) respectively) but anyway.
Are there different sizes of original pitches?

The squares on an original pitch are not of the same size on all parts of the board. You can get different results based on where on the board you measure.

if you are refering to varying sizes for the small gaps between the different pitch quarters I know and did measure without passing them.
Or do you really mean different squares, that are not influenced by these gaps but are still of different sizes?

thats a different question. mine was if range rulers (or pitches) are that different, as I seem to get other results than some others
