You're right... my implication was Catesian metric.  I thought it would be
safe to specify "circle", implying (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 <= r^2, but I
guess that's what you get for being a Mathie.

Therefore I revise my proposal on football, whatever its number may be in
the following manner:

Replace the OOPS delemited text:
OOPS
If a player is playing Football, instead of moving as specified in rule
301, e may move to any location within a circle of three units of eir
current location.
OOPS

with the following AAHTHEREWEGO delimeted text:
AAHTHEREWEGO
If a player is playing Football, instead of moving as specified in rule
301, e may move to any location which is less than or equal to three units
from eir current location (measured by Euclidean distance).
AAHTHEREWEGO

and the following OHNO delimeted text:
OHNO
and e is within two units of the player in possession of the Scoring
Gremlin (determined by the same circle-style measurement as for moving)
OHNO

with the following YAY delimeted text:
YAY
and the player in posession of the Scoring Gremlin is not farther than two
units away (again measured by Euclidean distance) from eir location
YAY
