This paper considers the task of connecting points on a piece of paper by drawing a curve between each pair of them. Under mild assumptions, we prove that many pairwise disjoint curves are unavoidable if either of the following rules is obeyed: any two adjacent curves do not cross, or any two non-adjacent curves cross at most once. Here, two curves are called adjacent if they share an endpoint. On the other hand, we demonstrate how to draw all curves such that any two adjacent curves cross exactly once, any two non-adjacent curves cross at least once and at most twice, and thus no two curves are disjoint. Furthermore, we analyze the emergence of disjoint curves without these mild assumptions, and characterize the plane structures in complete graph drawings guaranteed by each of the rules above.
