2.2: THE CENTER POINT

The most important feature of counter rotate is that it involves movement around the center point of some formation.

In the Advanced program, counter rotates normally only apply to four-person formations. The center point of a four-person formation is usually very easy to identify.

 

In the case of Split Counter Rotate, the whole eight-person formation is cut in half, so each half is a four-person formation. It is the center point of each half that needs to be identified.
