Square Rotation Program (SQROT) ==> Other Questions

Couple Weighting #1
  1. Does your rotation system do 'couple weighting'?
  2. Whose rotation system uses a weighted system?
  3. Is there any way a dancer can recognize a weighted display?

  1. The Square Rotation Program (SQROT) does not do weighting of any kind.
  2. I don't know about other rotation systems.

    I'm not a big fan on number systems. I wrote the program because I didn't like the existing number systems or programs, and I believed that I could create a better mix.

  3. Unfortunately, recognizing a weighted system may not be easy. The organizers of the dance (those doing the weighting) may want to keep it secret.

    At a dance with numbers, if you dance with a given couple three times without dancing with another given couple, I'd say the number system is either

    1. very poor; or
    2. you're on a weighted system.

    In my opinion, the number 3 (times) is significant. If you dance with a given couple two times without dancing with given another couple, I wouldn't worry too much about it. For some particular given number of couples, it is impossible to generate a mix in which this doesn't occur.
