Notes (this phone)
TOP PLAYER
POSITION
Any chest-to-chest or chest-to-back connection (side control, mount, north-south, back, anything) with something under at least one of their elbows, or both.
OBJECTIVE
Go all the way to a submission.
CONSTRAINTS
Alternate your starting position every time it's your turn; any change of angle counts as a new one. Something has to stay under an elbow for the game to continue: your head, your leg while you're submitting, a figure-four grip, or a seat belt from the back all count. If you lose position under the elbows, you lose right away. Tap and release the moment anything loads an elbow, shoulder, knee, or the neck; ease into every finish so your partner has time to tap, and reset on a tap.
WIN CONDITION
You submit your partner.
BOTTOM PLAYER
POSITION
Under your partner's chest-to-chest or chest-to-back connection, with at least one elbow exposed.
OBJECTIVE
Get your elbows back in.
CONSTRAINTS
At any time, from any position, getting both elbows touching your body with nothing underneath ends it. Tap early.
WIN CONDITION
Both of your elbows touch your body and there's nothing underneath them.
