Device for securing rope in multiple configurations and process of using the same

A lace and device tensioning system, the system comprising:

• a rope device, the rope device including:
• a first raised surface and a second raised surface, the first raised surface located at a first end of the rope device and the second raised surface located at a second end of the rope device, the second end distal from the first end;
• a wrapping area located between the first raised surface and the second raised surface, the first raised surface and the second raised surface raised in relation to the wrapping area;
• a third surface located on a back side of the second raised surface;
• a first opening, the first opening approximately perpendicular to the second raised surface and the third raised surface, the first opening being wider toward a first end of the rope device and narrower toward a second end of the rope device;
• a fourth surface located on a back side of the first raised surface;
• a second opening at the second end of the rope device, the second opening approximately perpendicular to the first raised surface and the fourth surface, the second opening including a side gap, the side gap located along a side of the device;
• a raised sidewall, the raised sidewall located in the side gap, the raised sidewall approximately perpendicular to the first raised surface, the fourth surface and the second opening, the raised sidewall forming a narrowed entrance to the side gap;
• and
• laces, the laces located such that they are passed through the first opening from the first end of the rope device toward the second end of the rope device, the laces further located such that they are wrapped from a back side of the wrapping area, around the wrapping area, back to the back side of the wrapping area, and through the side gap, such that they are located in the second opening.
