Playing distance

It is there prerogative to throw the jack however they like as long as it is between 6m and 10m.

When it is your turn to throw the jack you MAY (you don’t have to) move the circle back so you can throw the jack up to a maximum of 10m.

If you move the circle back you don’t have to play long.

Another thing is there is no obligation to play back and forth if you played a short end and were near the middle of the peist it is ok to play the next end in the same direction (assuming you can throw a legal distance) if you prefer one end of the peist to another.
