Playing distance

Guy, Lou's original question was, "Can an opponent draw the circle at the 6m mark to kick start a game?".

Your reply was, "The direct answer to your question is NO." Yet you then go on to explain that the minimum distance from the circle to the jack is 6m (not including the 1m between the marked terrain and the dead boule line). I believe that would imply that the direct answer to Lou's question is YES, his opponent can draw the circle anywhere he likes within the marked terrain as long as a valid throw of the jack can be made to at least a distance of 6m. Do you agree?

By the way, what is the source of your ststement regarding null jacks? Are you refering only to the original toss of the jack, or have the rules been changed regarding a jack already in play?
