shall not:
a. Move onto the center restraining circle.
b. Change position around the center restraining circle.

Another reason to flip a coin.

Ok, now you're making me look at that closer. Maybe it's been a part of my own "internal myth", but wouldn't moving off the circle be "changing position"? And, in your play, any non-jumper not already on the circle can go anywhere, so are you sure it was a player that took a spot on the circle that released early? Anybody off the circle can go wherever they want, whenever they want, except for taking a spot on the circle, before the ball is tossed.

Btw, I could flip a coin - heads I win, tails you lose.
