TOP PLAYER
POSITION
Back, seatbelt on, one hook in.
OBJECTIVE
Keep a hook or convert to body triangle.
CONSTRAINTS
Both players must maintain the pre-established seatbelt. If the seatbelt breaks, stop the clock, re-establish, and continue. Seatbelt breaks do not score. Reset when the top player accumulates 45 seconds with at least one hook maintained, when the body triangle is locked, when the bottom player removes both hooks and achieves the defined separation, or after eight seconds with no active lower-body movement from either player. Default rounds 3:00.
WIN CONDITION
Maintain at least one hook (instep-to-inner-thigh contact) continuously for 45 seconds, or establish the body triangle.
BOTTOM PLAYER
POSITION
Under the back, seatbelt on, one hook in.
OBJECTIVE
Clear both hooks and split hips.
CONSTRAINTS
Same seatbelt and named reset rules.
WIN CONDITION
Remove both hooks and achieve a hip separation of at least a full arm's length from the top player.

Rules
- Both players must maintain the pre-established seatbelt.
- If the seatbelt breaks, stop the clock, re-establish, and continue.
- Seatbelt breaks do not score.
- Reset when the top player accumulates 45 seconds with at least one hook maintained, when the body triangle is locked, when the bottom player removes both hooks and achieves the defined separation, or after eight seconds with no active lower-body movement from either player.

Progressions
Harder constraint variants from the source. Same game, tighter problem.
- Remove the seatbelt constraint — now the upper body is also contested.
- Add the RNC as a top player win condition — the hook game is now in service of the choke.
- Require the top player to start with no hooks in and earn both before starting the clock.
