Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Choreography

Stretch anyone Kick Off
Take a look at these two choreo snippets:

Sides Split Square Thru 2 To A Wave, Split Circulate, Stretch Boys Kick Off

Sides Split Square Thru 2 To A Wave, Stretch Centers Kick Off

In the first example, the last call uses "Near 2 Kick Off" as part of the parsing. Why does this not occur in the second example?

The program processes the first instance above correctly.

The program is confused on the second instance because the call is illegal.

From parallel lines, "Stretch Centers Kick Off" does not make sense. Stretch means to do the call on each side, then the two dancers on each side that are closest to the center line move across to the far center. Since the call "Centers Kick Off" requires a 1x4 (to identify Ends and Centers), each 1x4 does the call "Centers Kick Off". The new centers can not move to the other side because the 1x4 is oriented incorrectly for this to occur.
