A1 gets head, shoulders, butt, and feet all by B1 (who had LGP). B1 no longer has LGP and is no longer guarding. B1, is quick, however. B1 races to get back in the path of A1 but just gets into the path (without 2 feet down or facing). B1, in this case, does not have LGP. B1 must meet all the requirements of obtaining LGP again.

If that were not true, it could argued that once a player had LGP in the first 30 seconds of the game, that player would have it the remainder of the game.
