It wasn't as organized as i'd hoped but when it did happen, they moved thru a "double line pull rotation". Not everyone in the group joined in however. They sat back in the "lounge" and wheel sucked. When the group got split apart for a while me and three others rotated around 2 - 3 min pulls until we caught back up with the hammer-heads.
