TOP PLAYER (SHOOTER)
POSITION
Both standing at arm's length with no grips. The shooter has the initiative and must attack first.
OBJECTIVE
Shooter attacks the legs within 5 seconds. Leg control held for 10 seconds also scores for the shooter.
CONSTRAINTS
Shoot inside 5 seconds. The shooter must commit to an attack before the clock runs out. Leg attacks only. No throws and no trips. No guard pulls. The defender solves standing pressure with standing solutions. Reset when the shooter completes a single leg, double leg, or high crotch; when the shooter holds leg control in any position for 10 seconds; when the defender sprawls and circles to back control, chest on the shooter's back; or when the defender forces the shooter to release the legs and return to neutral. 3-5 min rounds.
WIN CONDITION
Complete a single leg, double leg, or high crotch; or hold leg control in any position for 10 seconds.

If it stalls
If the defender sprawls and stays flat, cue hips up and circle the moment contact lands.
