crosseyed: There is another rule that says you cannot prime (completely block) your own starting board, meaning blocking spots 1 to 6 right in the quarter where you start. You can prime any other place on the board. This rule is actually enforced, even if you wanted only to move through the spot (which is incorrect I think), like when you have a double and you want to move through the sixth spot, temporarily blocking the section, and then move on.
