Myth ...

This myth probably comes from this old IAABO Manual graphic (no longer in the current IAABO Manual).



Twelve "pieces of pie" shaped unmarked spaces around the center circle, appearing not to allow any player to straddle the division line.

Actual rule language only talks about “adjacent positions”, “occupied space”, and "spaces for non-jumpers around the center circle are 36 inches deep".
