Me too. The trail would dictate the rotation. As the lead, you had to get used to different partners. Some would rotate too quickly, they were obviously uncomfortable working opposite, as it was called back then, even if there was a key matchup in their area. Other partners would take their time working opposite. I remember that I had a partner who once who suggested, in a low level game, that we work opposite for an entire period, just for fun. I remember this experience as being surreal (I definitely have been reading too many of mbyron's posts lately).
