i will try my best seeing as i am only coming to grips with it myself.

ok you receive an add if you do something like a delay ([del]), spin, dexing the bag and a few other things

for example a simple toe stall is a 1 add because there is only one part of the trick, the delay.

where as a butterfly is a 3 add because it is in the air, delay and you dex the bag with the supporting leg, thus a 3 add

hope i have helped and not confused

matt,
There is no Boyall in team, unless it is an All-Boy team. PM if you dont get it

I know just starting a topic is easy, but I'm sure you knew that you could have found it out easily by yourself:

it means you're subscribing to a system that is going to make you think that doing a LOT of blurry whirls is good.

;) sorry, that wasn't meant to be much of an explanation... more of a shot at the add system...
BRICK!

The last thing this forum has is too many posts, if you see repeat posts just ignore them. Newbies need encouragement :P Im too lazy to explain it to him though other than ignore adds and more important- ignore "less".

They are "adds". They tell you how much "adds" a single tricks gets.

Adds DO NOT equal difficulty (the First Footbag Rule, lol)!

Every single trick is made of components. It's like a cake, which is made from many ingredients. The bigger the cake, the more complicated the process of making it.
So adds are avarded for the components. If you do a Toe Delay, you get 1 Add. If you do a Mirage, you get 2 Adds and so on...

Different components are:
1. Delay (you delay the bag on your foot)
2. Dexterity (you circle around the bag with your leg)
3. Cross-body (you contact the bag with one leg "tucked" behind another - Clipper)
4. Body (Symposium, Spinning/Inspinning, Ducking/Diving)
5. Paradox (don't ask :wink: )
6. X-Dex (this one is not official)

So Butterfly is 3 Adds, because it is made from 3 components (Dexterity, Crossbody and Delay).

Don't forget [UNS] unusual surface ADD. You get this Add when you use any surface of the body besides the toes, insteps, outsteps and knees.
