TOP PLAYER (MOUNT)
POSITION
Mounted, starting in the head and arm with one of their elbows up, but without their arm pushed across yet.
OBJECTIVE
Finish with the head and arm, or take the back.
CONSTRAINTS
Figure out how to get the arm across and use your finishing mechanics. If they make the head and arm hard, you can go to the gift wrap and take the back instead. Tap and release the moment anything loads an elbow, shoulder, or the neck; ease into every finish so your partner has time to tap, and reset on a tap. Switch roles after each win.
WIN CONDITION
You finish the head and arm choke, or you take their back.
BOTTOM PLAYER (MOUNTED)
POSITION
On your back under mount with one elbow up and your partner set for a head and arm.
OBJECTIVE

CONSTRAINTS
Any of these ends the game: your elbow gets back down, you reverse them, or you get out at any point during their back take. Tap early on the choke. Switch roles after each win.
WIN CONDITION
You get your elbow back down, you reverse them, or you get out during the back take.
