Playford gives no hard-and-fast answers. Personally, I teach the
crossover at the top by the left shoulders, specifically because we
conventionally start hays by passing right shoulders.
The way I teach the whole thing is essentially as two hays, interlaced.
M1 and W1 are doing a pure circular hay, starting with left shoulders --
they simply walk all the way around the circle, alternating shoulders.
The other four do a completely conventional hay, starting with right
shoulders, going up and down their own lines. If everyone gets the
timing right, this works together well enough that I *suspect* it was
Playford's intent...
