    It's been a while since the Passaround VOTE thread has gone up, without any argument as to why Passaround should not be dropped. The majority vote is to drop the usage of Passaround as a trick name. With that, here's a rough draft for the article stating as much...

    Passaround
    -------------
    To minimize the confusion of using multiple names for a single trick, or in this case a partial trick, the UPSB Naming Committee is encouraging the discontinued use of "Passaround" for describing half of a Fingeraround. Instead, it is encouraged to use the Fingeraround term. When used in a combo, the Interrupted Trick Notation should be used to describe the partial trick, as is the purpose of the notation.

    Examples:
    Single trick

    • Passaround Normal 23-12 = Middlearound Normal 0.5 23-12

    Within a combo (informal notation)
    • Sonic Normal 34-23 > Middlearound Normal 0.5 23-12 ~> NeoSonic Normal 1.0 12-T1

    Within a combo (formal notation)
    • Sonic Normal 34-23 > Middlearound Normal 23-12[p][s 0.5] ~ NeoSonic Normal 1.0 12-T1


    Edit: spelling, new combo

    I'm not completely sure, but -

    Maybe the highlighted 'on' should be omitted..? Is it grammatically correct?
    Otherwise, I think everything is ok.

    I think you should have a different combo. That one is awkward to do.

    @thig: fixed error.
    @Leviathan: how's that combo?

    That's better.

    Should there be a "greater than" sign after the tilde in the formal notation?

    Combining the "~" and the ">" only takes place in the informal notation, since the formal notation tells you exactly what happens.

    I think this article is ready for release.

    Yeah, it's been a week without any more feedback. It's a fairly straightforward article. I'll post a wiki article, then a Feedback forum thread for discussion.
