C3B definition: Leaders Circulate as Trailers Diagonal Box Circulate. EN: 60

Add Danish
The original definition of Bias Circulate had the Trailers make a R-H (or L-H) Star, Turn it 1/2 way, and adjust to end in Waves. Hence, it was possible for the caller to modify the amount to turn the Star (this is considered bogus today). Our definition uses Diagonal Box Circulate as a convenient way to express turning the Star. It is inappropriate to call Bias Circulate from T-Bones such that the Trailers are in Columns instead of Lines. EN: 70

Add Danish
Bias Circulate is equivalent to Trapezoid Split Trade Circulate (except that from L-H Waves, a L-H Star is used). EN: 80

Add Danish
