What to do If you move a player wrong???

[lightingbug]

Question-

if during a game you are figuring out players' movements, and you decide to go that way with your guy (downfield). then you continue to measure him out to other parts of the pitch. So now he could go the whole other direction and go this way ( upfield)

Then accidently when I measured this way, I also moved the player that movement because I guess I wasn't paying attention.

In a real time game your oppenent might let you move the player back and move the player the real way you want to but how can we handle this in PbeM. My player didn't interact on this accidental move but will interact if I can really go the other way. I will be able to go for the ball on a GFI

what can I do at this point? Can I say that that wasn't the way I wanted to go and move him back to his original spot and then complete my move.

Thanks

(PBeM) If you haven't moved anything else, just make a note to your opponent so he can realize you have go wrong while meassuring movement, and go back, and move again. Unless you had thrown dice, that's the correct way.

Write it in the log, move the player back and reset movement
