Note: Historically, Your Leader has also been called from Twin Diamonds, in which case the Outsides omit the 1/4 Right. This usage is typically frowned upon today and it is our opinion that the caller should say something like 'Outsides go As You Are' or 'Centers Start' so that the outsides do not start with a 1/4 Right.

Dancing hint: Those doing the Arm Turn 3/4 may need to pause before doing the Tandem Extend as the Outsides sometimes take longer to do their part. EN: 50

Switch Your Leader and Trail Your Leader are considered anomalies since they don't exactly follow the definition of any Tagging call Your Leader. In our opinion, callers should refrain from using these calls. EN: 60
