Facing List Illustration GUS 2014

The Facing List for Global Underscore 2014 arranges the sites of this year's practice in order of longitude from west to east.  

(Full Practice and Modified Jam sites SKIP OVER the Satellites; Satellites use the order to join into the zig zag the other sites make.)

NOTE: The Facing List is also the list of cities on the rite side of the map.  

If we use the facing list we will make a zig zag line that wraps all the way around the planet.  The westernmost site in North America, Seattle, starts the list and the line zig zags across the North and South America until it jumps over to Europe and across Asia. Seoul and Annandale both face Seattle to complete the wrap.

For "The First Global Small Dance 00:55", use the facing list in the order given.  We face eastwardly toward the rising sun in the beginning.

For example, Berkeley faces Salt Lake City, Buenos Aires faces Las Toscas. We face eastwardly toward the rising sun in the beginning. NOTE: The zig zag skips Satellite sites and Satellite sites face the closes Modifies Jam or Full Practice site east of them. Kuang faces Kwai Chung rather than Perth. Perth also faces Seoul.  Seoul and Annandale face Seattle.  

For "The Second Global Small Dance 03:55", use the facing list in the reverse order.  We face westwardly toward the setting sun in the end.  Seoul faces Kwai Chung, Seattle faces Seoul, Salt Lake City faces Berkeley.   

You may not end up facing DUE east or west; it is more likely you will face a site very northeast or southeast for the first Small Dance, and then face a site very northwest or southwest for the second Small Dance.  But the line follows our vision by our facing in the direction eastward in the beginning and westward at the end.  

ABOUT SATELLITES: Full Practice and Modified Jam sites SKIP OVER the Satellites; Satellites use the order to join into the zig zag the other sites make.  Due to the variety in the kind of participation a satellite may have, we have the satellites face along the main zig zag facing list line, but leave them off of the line.  


NOTE: the picture here is an abstract representative illustration.  Don't try to find your site in the drawing.  It is NOT accurate.
