Extended relief doesn't mean the player can go indefinitely back with no penalty, but just to the edge of the casual area. The player needs to take the Optional Relief penalty 803.05C to go back farther if desired.

I typed for 15 minutes to respond why this didn't apply to the situation, but being an idiot i forgot to copy it first knowing that if you type for more than 30 seconds, you get logged out and therefore lose everything - I'l try again tomorrow when I reassmble my desk.
