[Zac Miley]

Can I compete in Open circle contest anyways? I'm intermediate but I would really like to compete in it.

[ianek]

yes, it's Open.

[qphox]

i'm not really clear on what a mandatory passback is.

[ianek]

for each turn, everyone will have a passback if they drop the bag from pass reception through 1st real trick. So if the competitor before you drop his first move, he will pass the bag to you and you will have no choice to give it back to him. (only 1 passback/competitor/turn.) So if the competitor drop again on his first move, you will keep the bag.

is it more clear? post again if it's not.

[LEGOMAN]

so are butterfly kicks and symp toe stalls okay and if i drop the first trick i do can i do a different one?

[ianek]

so are butterfly kicks and symp toe stalls okay

i don't understand the question. are they okay for what?

and if i drop the first trick i do can i do a different one?

i guess you mean after you received your passback, so yes. If you try a move and drop it, you will have a passback. Then you can do the move you want, the same or another one.

[LEGOMAN]

"-Don’t use basic kicks and stalls mid-run. "


Do butterfly kicks or symp toe stalls fall under this rule is really what I'm trying to ask.
