TOP PLAYER
POSITION
On top of your partner, who is in turtle.
OBJECTIVE
Keep pressure on and knock their hip to the mat.
CONSTRAINTS
You can't connect your hands: no seat belt, no rear body lock. Grab shoulders, wrists, hips, the inside of the hip, feet, shins; use your feet too. If they're too tight to get inside, use other grips to tip them, and when they open their legs to adjust, go inside. Any time someone wins, switch top and bottom.
WIN CONDITION
Their hip touches the mat. It doesn't have to be a pin.
BOTTOM PLAYER (TURTLE)
POSITION
In turtle, on your elbows and knees, with your partner on top.
OBJECTIVE
Stand up and get away.
CONSTRAINTS
No pulling guard: you have to stay up, which means adjusting your base. Any time someone wins, switch top and bottom.
WIN CONDITION
You stand up and disconnect.
