There is no specific penalty listed for playing from the wrong circle, but Article 6 does demand that:
"The team about to throw the jack must erase any previous throwing circles located near the new one."
I foresee two instances of this being possible:
either a player is using an old circle completely far away from the new circle, in which case players from both sides should have pointed out the obvious error well ahead of time;
OR
a previous circle, near to the latest one, was not erased, and as such, honest confusion was responsible for the player throwing from the wrong circle.
Penalties:
In the former case, the boule should be removed if, and only if, it did not disturb any other unmarked boules/cochonnet or if they were marked, and they should be returned to their original positions, and the boule should be alowed for a re-thrown but with a warning to the team. This is in the spirit of fair play as both teams should have directed the player that they were in the wrong circle BEFORE they threw.
In the latter case, I believe the fault lies with the team who began the end - not adhereing to Article 6's erasing of the previous circle - thus allowing for some ambiguity on the field of play. If it was the starting team who threw frm the incorrect circle, a stiffer penalty should be imposed than from the opposing who did not "ignore" Article 6. As such, the boule should be taken back and re-thrown if no other unmarked boules/cochonnet were displaced (or if marked) returned to their original positions.
IF boules/cochonnet were not marked and displaced by a boule cast from a "void" circle - then the penalty should be as follows:
IF it were the team who ignored Article 6 - then their boule should be removed as void. IF it were the team who was not responsible for erasing the circle, then the boule should remain where it was, and a warning given.
