I have been looking all over for material on slot definitions and how they work. Im looking for what the slots are, where they are located and hown they are flown from each exit on all the blocks. Also and explanation on slot switching.

Slot swappers:
Is a block formation (where there is movement, called an inter, between the first part of a formation and the end part) usually where the Outside Centre and the Point end up in each other's slot.

I think maybe the easiest formation to demonstrate this is the Bundy - Bundy. Take a look at http://www.teamfastrax.org/divepool.aspx and select block number 12 (Bundy - Bundy) and watch where the red and green guys start and finish.

The compressed accordian spins 540 degrees, thereby changing the starting positions of the two skydivers.

I hope I didn't make a pig's ear of that... It made sense to me

Slot Swappers -

2 types -

memories - two guys normally next to each other swap positions (your bundy block -12- does this does this, so does block 3, 10, 12, 16)

Mirrors - two guys across from each other swap - blocks 5 and 17

These are some of the faster blocks in many cases but I have another thread to start on that one.

I think that's right.
