BOTTOM PLAYER (FEET INSIDE)
POSITION
Seated with both feet between your standing partner's knees and one hand on an ankle.
OBJECTIVE
Keep at least one foot between their legs, put them down, then entangle.
CONSTRAINTS
Keep inside position with your feet. You may grab the other leg while keeping feet between. You cannot entangle while they are still standing — only tops and bottoms of the feet may make them fall. Once they are down, any entanglement wins. For beginners: once they fall they stay down (no stand-up mid-entanglement). Yell "tap" on knee pressure. Reset after either side wins.
WIN CONDITION
Put your partner down with the feet, then establish any entanglement.
STANDING PLAYER
POSITION
Standing with your partner's feet between your knees and a hand on your ankle.
OBJECTIVE
Clear the feet and score a shin touch, or counter if you fall.
CONSTRAINTS
Get both of your legs to the outside of both of their feet and touch your shin anywhere from their hip to their shoulders. If you fall, you cannot stand back up; from the ground your win is getting both feet to the inside. Yell "tap" on knee pressure. Reset after either side wins.
WIN CONDITION
Both legs outside both feet with a shin touch hip-to-shoulder; or, if you fall, both feet to the inside.
