Siteswap is a mathematical model to calculate possible juggling patterns and also notation to write down juggling patterns as a series of numbers.
Central Description
Siteswap assumes that each throw happens on a beat.
- Each number in siteswap represents the number of beats between throws for one object
Vanilla Siteswap
Siteswap that describes "normal" juggling patterns that are like the 3 ball cascade are called vanilla siteswap.
Because we only describe these patterns, vanilla siteswap has some some additional rules:
- only one object can land on the same beat (= no multiplexes)
- each hand throws on a separate beat (= only one object is thrown on each beat = no synchronous patterns)
Example: 3 object cascade
This is the normal 3 ball cascade with two hands. Each arrow points to the next throwing event with the same object 3 beats later.
Numbers and arrows are colored with the color of the object involved:
- ball A: red
- ball B: blue
- ball C: black
Right and left hand are written underneath the numbers as R and L . As expected, all throws cross to the other hand.
The last three dashes represent throws that have not been made yet.
