As soon as I sent that, I realized that you'll always have one out at the
bottom. (Not the same couple.) Nobody will ever get ejected and swing their
partner at the top, so there's nothing to make it flip back and forth.
Anyway, because the progression was at the beginning,
there's no hurried swap.
If you have to do anything right away, you're already in place for it.
That's still true.
