Inside the line
The lasso is not a second territory
Lasso Selection cuts work from a territory a rep can hold. Existing turf stays on the map so you draw without overlapping. A lasso that crosses the territory line will not save. A lasso that sits on turf you already cut will not save. That is the difference between a pack a rep can walk and a scribble that fights the last cut.
Territory first
Create Turf asks you to select a territory. Drawing stays inside that boundary.
Vendor required
Every turf needs a vendor before Create will run.
No overlap
The product blocks a lasso that overlaps an existing turf by name.
