I don't understand the clarifying rule #2: "What if my opponent sends me to a board that’s full?" Isn't that impossible, as there is a maximum of 9 ways to be sent to each local area?

I think you can get sent to a full board only if the game started on that board.

Of course, there's a cascading effect where it's now possible to also overflow the board you chose with your free move.

Isn't it possible that the first board played could become full since the first mark isn't the result of normal gameplay?

Move 0.

If you look his Orwin Gambit start it would happen. It's because this the first move is done freely so you end up with one area ahead of it's paths (ie full but with only 8 path already taken).
