Substitute
I'm looking for Substitute at the C1 list. About 10 months ago Callerlab added this call to the C1 list, but it's not on your list.

The Callerlab definitions says:
(a) From two couples one directly behind the other and both 
    facing the same direction: The couple in front will make 
    an arch and backup as the couple behind ducks thru the arch 
    to exchange places.
(b) From Trade Bv formation: The center couple make an arch and
    back over the outside couple to end in Eight Chain Thru.

What about right-/or lefthanded columns? Legal or illegal?
Who will make the arch?

The Ceder Chest definition of Substitute is as follows:

Substitute [C1] (added to C1 in 2004): From Generalized Columns. Centers raise joined hands to make an arch and (moving toward the nearest Outsides) move forward or backward as the Outsides move into the Center. The traffic pattern has the Centers moving around the Outsides. Substitute exchanges the Centers with the Outsides. Nobody changes their facing direction during this call, and, in practice, dancers rarely make the arch. From Tandem Couples, Lead Couple arch & back up as Trailing Couple Steps Ahead (Circulate).

Hence Substitute is legal from any Columns. Centers make the arch.
