Pre-CALLERLAB Doings
Ate way too much…two all-you-can-eat meals in one day is just too much. Had lunch with Clark Baker at the Hilton’s buffet, and then dinner at the Braza Grill with Clark and some other callers.
Clark gave me a couple of tips that he picked up at Dave Wilson’s iPAC callers school last summer. First, one can tell sequence by looking at one’s key couples and seeing if they’re about the same distance from home. If they are, they’re in sequence; if not, they’re out. Second, for at home resolves, even from weird formations, look at the square and just try to describe how to get everybody to where they need to be to be home. Note that both of these involve being able to clearly visualize one’s key couples at home.
This sounds like something to be explored, since it’s an extrapolation of how I resolve squares.
Okay, so now I am confused. Let’s start from a static square and have everyone join hands and circle left one quarter. Original Heads are now at the Side position and original Sides are now at the Head position. From here we will do couples #1 and #3 do a Right and Left Through. My key couples being #1 and #4 and they are both one couple position away from home yet they are out of sequence. So what am I missing?

I guess the missing words are “if they’re about the same distance in the same direction from home.
