01
Read the opening
When a round begins, take a second to look for open space, cover, and at least one alternative direction. A route that feels obvious can become crowded quickly.
- Try moving before committing to one route.
- Consider where you can turn if your first path closes.
- Play with friends if you want to compare what worked after a run.
02
Practice the loop
A useful first goal is not a perfect escape. It is noticing when to run, when to break line of sight, and when to change your plan.
- Move with purpose.
- Use cover when it gives you a new decision.
- Reset your plan after every close call.
