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...
