I have never witnessed a court being laid from scratch. I assume they have a way to detect and correct "dead spots" as they go. Do they actually bounce a ball over every inch or bang a hammer on it and listen for a certain sound? Surely they don't wait until it is done and then start testing integrity.
Embrace the pace of the race.

Looks like it's coming along nicely. The wood is down and they're layering on the stain.
