Siteswap
From jugglingpatterns
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
Example: 3 object cascade
This is the normal 3 ball cascade with two hands. Each arrow points to the next 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.
