The x notation of rule S2 is required to distinguish number. 531 is a three-ball pattern, since (5+3+1)/3 patterns like (4,4) (synchronous fountain) from (4x,4x) equals three; however, 532 cannot be juggled since (synchronous crossing). -

Braids and Juggling Patterns by Matthew Macauley Michael Orrison, Advisor Advisor: Second Reader: (Jim Hoste) May 2003 Department of Mathematics Abstract Braids and Juggling Patterns by Matthew Macauley May 2003 There are several ways to describe juggling patterns mathematically using com- binatorics and algebra. In my thesis I use these ideas to build a new system using braid groups. A new kind of graph arises that helps describe all braids that can be juggled.

Juggler's World Summer 1997,Volume 49 - No
Juggler's World Summer 1997,Volume 49 - No. 2, Page 57 THE ACADEMIC JUGGLER The Invention Of Juggling Notations by Arthur Lewbel JUGGLING NOTATIONS: The most useful contribution of academic analyses for jugglers so far is site swap notation and its extensions, which has lead to the creation of a new genre of juggling patterns. A full description of site swap notation is in the Summer 1991 Juggler's World article, "A Notation for Juggling Tricks. A LOT of Juggling Tricks, " by Bruce Tiemann (Boppo) and the late Bengt Magnusson. Site swap notation consists of a diagram showing the paths of balls among hands over time, and a string of numbers that concisely describe the diagram. Other contributors to the development of site swap theory include Jack Boyce, Allen Knutson, Ed Carstens, and jugglers on the computer network. An extension to site swap notation that - deals with simultaneous and multiplex throws and catches is Carstens multihand notation (MHN). MHN is described in Ed's 1992 unpublished paper, "The Mathematics of Juggling," and in his computer program Jugglepro, which was recently reviewed in both Juggler's World and Kaskade (Jugglepro is available from Ed at Rolla, MO). Other juggling simulation software, some of which incorporate site swaps, include "the Juggler" by Bruce Love, "JUG - The Juggling Simulator" by David Greenberg, "The Juggling Video Task" by Anthony A.M. van Santvoord, "Juggle!" by Michael Kramer, "The 3 Ball Juggler" by John Gallant, and the site swap pattern generator by Jack Boyce. The potential usefulness of a juggling notation for describing, remembering and inventing juggling tricks must have been obvious for a long time, especially before the advent of video. -

References Introduction Whenever I practice in public I get a wide variety of people who notice and comment upon the tricks that I do. I'm sure many jugglers hear the same things: "Can you do 20?" or "I had a friend who did 9 chainsaws." It seems that people have a hard time gauging skills (or accurately recalling their friends' abilities) at which they have no direct experience. If I had never run before, I probably wouldn't guess that running a 4:00 mile is vastly more difficult than a 5:00 mile, and that a 3:00 mile is essentially impossible. The limits of human performance are not always easy to guess, and juggling is no exception. How and why is numbers juggling so hard? The intention of this paper is to try to find some answers to the question. The first half is a description of what I consider the important phases of learning, and some suggestions for progressing through them. -
IJA Festival RFP 2024 R2
International Jugglers’ Association FESTIVAL SITE REQUIREMENTS 2024 updated 2019-08 INTERNATIONAL JUGGLERS’ ASSOCIATION FESTIVAL SITE REQUIREMENTS introduction August, 2019 The International Jugglers' Association holds one event a year, it’s a week long, and it’s awesome. If we bring our event to your city, you will love having us there, you’ll miss us when we leave, and you’ll want us to come back again soon. We are now seeking a host city for our festival in 2024. Unfortunately, no one gets paid to attend a juggling convention. Everyone coming to an IJA festival is paying their own way, and most of them are traveling thousands of miles to attend our celebra- tion. Therefore, we are laser-focused on affordability of the festi- val venues, lodging and meals for our jugglers spending the week at the IJA festival. We will consider destinations for our future festivals only if all the economic and logistical factors look promising and can offer real affordability in lodging rates. Casino resorts, beach or mountain resorts and corporate conference centers generally do not provide us with the mix of affordability, choice and facilities we need for a successful week. Please see the accompanying materials for specifics on the require- ments for our festival, and some additional background informa- tion. Please note that this festival requirements document is extensive, but there are very few “show-stopper” items in it; i.e., we can work without or around nearly any item on the list if the bal- ance of your proposal is very attractive. I would be pleased to speak to you by phone to discuss how your city and facilities can fit into our plans for a future festival, before you begin preparing a formal proposal. -

Siteswap Ben's Guide to Juggling Patterns
Siteswap Ben’s Benjamin Beever ([email protected]) AD2000 Writings on juggling, for: 1) Jugglers 2) Mathematicians 3) Other curious people ABOUT THE BOOK The scientific understanding of ‘air-juggling’ has improved dramatically over the last 2 decades. This book aims to bring the reader right up to the forefront of current knowledge (or pretty close anyway). There are 3 kinds of people who might be reading this (see cover). As far as possible, I wanted to cater for everyone in the same book. Maybe this would help jugglers to appreciate maths, mathematicians to get into juggling, or even non-juggling, non-mathematicians to develop a favourable perception of the juggling game. In order to fulfil this ambition, I have indicated which parts of the text are aimed at a specific kind of reader. Different fonts have been used to indicate the main intended audience. Everyone (with many exceptions) should be able to understand most of the writings for the curious. However, non-jugglers may not be able to envisage the patterns discussed in the jugglers text, and non-mathematicians may find some of the concepts in the technical sections hard to get their grey matter around. I must point out however, that juggling is a fairly complicated business. It can be very hard to understand what’s going on in a juggling pattern when it’s being juggled in front of you, and it’s not always easy to understand on paper. This book introduces ‘Generalised siteswap’ (GS) notation, and shows how most air-juggling patterns can be formalised within the GS framework.
