Pattern Description

There is one juggler A throwing a 2-count (every 2nd throw, i.e. all throws from the right hand are passes) and alternating the passing throws to juggler B and C, who both throw a 4-count (every 4th throw is a pass).

All jugglers can start at the same time (A and B with a pass, C with self, self, pass...) - or A and B start together and C joins in on the second pass thrown from A.

This is a half-synchronous pattern - so the right-hand throws of all jugglers happen at the same time and the left-hand throws of all jugglers also happen at the same time.

In the following description, all jugglers start with two clubs in their right hand and one club in their left hand. Juggler A and B start with a pass to each other. Two throws later, A and C have a pass with each other.
