Explictly state that it's a 2-part call.

1) Re-do the def, minimizing front-to-back jays, etc.
2) More examples.
Exchange The Triangle
Show or describe Exchange The Interlocked Triangle.
Exchange The Triangle:
Note that an Exchange flips the two formations to the other side of the
axis line dividing those formations. That is, draw an imaginary line
between the two formations, splitting them, and then flip (mirror) the
dancers to the other sides. R-H setups become L-H setups and vice-versa.
This is why Exchange the In-Point Triangle is illegal.

Message = When you give the "mirror turn and deal" defintion,
I think you should "mention" that MIRROR is a C3B concept -
so this definition is not appropriate for C3A dancers.
Release:
Modify to not include the word 'Press',
so I can do my interesting applications
Exchange The Triangle:
Make sure the def of Exchange (e.g., Exchange the 3 by 1 Triangle from 1/4 Tag)
explains why the very center leads and not the person closest facing the center.
Slant:
While the phrase "do your part", as in the Callerlab definition of
Slant: "Leaders do their part of the second Anything call" looks very
succinct and simple, doing one's part of a call is actually quite complex.
The people doing the second call do it in a complete 8-person setup, that is,
they "see" all the phantoms behind them, but they reassemble in a manner that stays
out of the other people's way.
Slant [swap around] and [single wheel] ends in a parallelogram.
Slant:
Do you consider Slant Anything by Here Comes The Judge to be legitimate?
If so, the definition seems to need a bit more elaboration. If not, the definition
in any event needs clarifying to exclude it. For instance, is the outfacers part
of Slant an Own type of thing - if yes, maybe the definition need to reflect this.
Checkerboard:
At a recent dance, the caller called:
From a two-faced line, Checker board, crossfire
After the original trailers did their extend and crossfire, the caller wanted
each mini-wave to slide into the vacated two spots in the "outside" line.
I certainly understood this analysis, but my original thought would be that each tandem would
press 1/2 out to form C1 phantoms (those who did the crossfire in phantom columns and those
who did the trade in phantom lines).
From two-faced lines Checkerboard, Lockit
Which would certainly (I think) end in C1 phantoms (as above)
* * * *
The "gestalt" for me, has always been that the "slide into the vacant spot"
should NOT require any dancer to "cross" from one side to the other side
in the "horizontal plane" (i.e. the parallel to where the two who traded worked).
If, after an original trailer did the call, if they end on the CENTER line
(perpendicular) to those who traded) then they could go forward or backwards
to fill a spot, but I am not used to sliding from "one quadrant to another" as was
expected by this "Checkerboard crossfire"
Is it really true that IF you can get back to a 2x4, that always "predominates" how to adjust back?
Are cases where you cannot get to a 2x4 now considered "improper"?
If not, is there a general rule on how to adjust them?
Exchange The Triangle:
the idea of an exchange is that the two formations swap locations
by having the centermost dancers lead with everyone else in their
formation following in single file in a snaking fashion to end on
the other side.
