ENTANGLING PLAYER
POSITION
In the leg entanglement of your choice on your partner's leg.
OBJECTIVE
Finish on the legs or come up and take the back.
CONSTRAINTS
You pick the starting entanglement. If entanglements are new to you, use Greg's scaling focus: stay attached to the hip and as close as you can, search for both legs as a precursor to heel exposure, and try to capture your partner's toes with your arm and body or any way you can. Flip-flop roles every time somebody wins. Tap and release the moment a heel, ankle, or knee is loaded; ease into every finish so your partner has time to tap, and reset on a tap.
WIN CONDITION
You finish on your partner's legs, or you come up and take their back.
