Hopefully, everyone understands the simple premise of Red Light/Green Light here. That's why I kept my comment about that short. What I was really trying break down were the various scenarios that can play out - mainly focusing on bad RNG for wash away knock back. It's that one other person that "you may encounter" that is causing nearly every single issue. I've tried to outline some ways to combat that.

I've been doing the same thing now I'll hit spread not then start running to c I generally run thru middle if someone isn't heading in that direction. Just have to make sure everyone understands that. I will always go left if you get knocked into me and I'll be running thru middle to get to C.
