When A1 leaves the floor, B2 has obtained LGP next to XY. Before A1 lands, B2 maintains LGP by moving laterally into XY.
Scrapper, does this illustrate your point?

It's might illustrate Scrappy's point but it sureasheck doesn't even come close to illustrating mine and everybody elses.
B1 didn't obtain LGP
NEXT to anybody. B1 obtained LGP in
FRONT of A1. In a1's
DIRECT path. At
NO time in the situation being discussed did the defender
EVER move
LATERALLY. Laterally means sideways. At
ALL times, the defender was moving straight
BACKWARDS. There's a big difference.
XY is a straight-line path going backwards. B1 was never
next to XY. B1 was always somewhere
on XY. And B1 was moving from X to Y
before A1 took off.
