There is infinity of siteswaps[edit]
There is an infinity of possible siteswaps, I agree that we have to make wikipedia great, but I don't know what would be the guidelines of including a siteswap sequence or not. What would be the requirement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Santropedro (talk • contribs)
- Hmm, it's a good question. The obvious answer is "list the ones people do often"… and probably the ones done often are also listed/mentioned in many documents and hence are also the ones you also want to include here.
- I don't see much of a point of having the trivial ones 0,1,2,3,4,5,… in the list (or well known ones like 423 with more added 3s like 423 4233 42333 etc).
- Also, I think the base siteswap should be an interesting one, it shouldn't be something like mills-mess or similar that can also be written as a siteswap that is included - and hence I think a lot of the ball tricks from the library of juggling isn't needed. These are patterns with synchronous or asynchronous throws and so they have a siteswap, but many of them use ball-carries etc. and the siteswap isn't the predominant thing for that pattern.
- The "X"es can be removed, too. They are only used to denote Patterns with a number of props <=2 and that number is given in the table anyway. As an aside: I doubt that there are many juggers who'd call 501 "not juggling" :)
- Unrelated to the question, I kind of dislike the brief(ish) explanation of siteswap on top. The explanation for the numbers used in (vanilla) siteswap really is, that the number denotes the number of beats after which a ball is caught and thrown again. That's really it. And then there are no special cases, except that you don't need to throw a "2". Iridos (talk) 17:54, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
Burke's Slam[edit]
What's going on here? To the best of my knowledge, * has no meaning for async siteswaps. The animation shown in the source appears to be the sync pattern (4x,2x)(2,4x)*. The number listed in brackets (5251221525) is not a valid siteswap. -PeterCRoder (talk) 15:44, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
