We were dancing a tape of this past Berkshires in workshop last night and hit a problem. Assuming we were right at the time, we had a setup that was:
From here you called Double Down. To make it work, that lead man who quartered out did a circulate as did the #3 women in the column. The trailing man and the woman he was facing did 2 split circulates. I think the next call was "funny square thru 2".
My definition of Double Down is that the trailing end, and the person in his partner's postion, do 2 split circulates, while the others circulate. This definition doesn't fit what we did, and doing it the way we did, I believe the rest of the sequence worked. What am I missing?
You did have the correct starting formation for the sequence in question:
C4-2954 %Heads% Double Star Thru, Wave The %Sides%, Stack The Wheel, %Boys Roll%, Checkpoint %Left% Turn & Q %To A Wave% $By$ Single File Cross Cycle, Each Side Curl Apart, 1 By 3-Some: 3/4 Run Wild, Reverse Flip The 3 By 1 Triangle, Initially Tandem Spin Chain & %Circulate% The Gears, $Swing Thru$, 1/4 Stable Walk Out To A Column, Triple Box Box Transfer, Double Down, Funny Square Thru 2, Initially Concentric Tally-Ho, Bias Circulate, R.L.G.
The discepancy between your definition and mine is that I use 'adjacent Center' instead of 'partners position'. Unfortunately, it matters in the above sequence.
BTW, my definition makes more sense (mathematically) since it allows Double Down to be done from any symmetric 2x4 in which two ends are facing in and two ends are facing out.
