Playing distance

Your opponent need only to be able to throw the jack six meters (for juniors and seniors). However that gives you a "playing area" of at least seven meters to throw your boules since the dead boule line can be no nearer than one meter from the marked terrain. One more thing, if he should be unsuccessful, in three tries, throwing to a valid six meter distance, you have the option of throwing the jack in a different direction up to the full ten meters allowed. If there is no direction which allows this, you may move the circle until it becomes possible to throw the full distance.
