An example someone told me about last night: Given a right-handed ocean wave with girls in the center, call "girls U-turn back and Roll". What should be the result? (Side note: reviewing the definition right now, I think the person I was talking with had the wrong answer, but it's ambiguous.) Therefore, competent callers consider stuff like that to be either avoided or workshopped if you want to do them (the latter being just like contra). An interesting point that mostly only MWSD callers are aware of: the CALLERLAB Applications Review Committee uses the terms "proper" and "improper" rather than "right"/"wrong" or "legal"/"illegal" because they have zero power to enforce their decisions. CALLERLAB also has "Standard Application" documents for Basic through Plus, they tell you which formations/arrangements are more likely to succeed/fail for any given call. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net
