• Branch Off is a generalization of Peel Off and Trail Off.
• Leaders always go to the Right, and Trailers always Trade by the Right.
• For the Leaders, Branch Off is either a Trail Off or a Peel Off, dependending upon whether you are respectively a Beau or a Belle.
• For the Trailers, the first part of Branch Off is 1/2 Crossover Circulate, which is not the same as Cross Extend.
  • Cross Extend is not legal from Inverted Boxes.
  • The ending handedness for Cross Extend depends upon the handedness of the starting formation, whereas 1/2 Crossover Circulate ends with a R-H Mini-Wave.

Left Branch Off is the Mirror version of the call.

Comments:

• I tried to name Branch Off in a manner consistent with Peel Off and Trail Off, which is why the name consists of a single word followed by the word 'Off'.
• Branch Off is to Peel | Trail Off as Revolve To A Wave is to Box Recycle.
• Branch Off can be useful in resolving asymmetric setups.
