Merkur 1 #1 April 15, 2008 Hi there, found a lot on tips for the 4-way divepool but not really much that helps memorizing the 8-way divepool. Any tips available?? Thanks, M. P.S. If there is already kind of a complete list somewhere here - which keywords did you use to find it?vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!

Dazzle 0 #2 April 20, 2008 Dougal Seeley updated his program for mobile phones to include the 8 way dive pool. It has all the formations and can generate random draws. You can download from wap.dougalseeley.com or www.dougalseeley.com. Runs on java enabled phones (most of them). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwynne 0 #3 May 2, 2008 I learned the 8way dive pool after I'd been doing 4way for a while and i came much easier. I don't even know all the names of the formations. On some of them I just skipped straight to the letters and numbers, but here's a few: A cat B diamond as in 4way Cee the hourglass D hopeless diamond Eek rubrick F ? Garrowhead H ? J ? Krank Less hopeless diamond M ? Nipperflake Oooohh the compressed Penis-venus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SHem 0 #5 May 29, 2008 For the blocks, I only have a few memory tricks, some based on 4-way - block 6 Star-Star (like Stardian, block 6 in 4-way) block 8 Frisbee-Frisbee (kinda looks like a figure 8) block 11 Nor. Box-Nor Donut (pieces look like 1's during inter - it makes sense in my little mind) block 16 Can Tees-Monopods (block 8 in 4-way is Can Tee, 8-way is twice 4-way...yeah, another one that makes sense in my little mind) For the rest of the blocks, I just caved in and memorized them, since I'm not intelligent enough to come up with memory tricks for these. For the randoms, jwynne has good suggestions. Others that work for me are: C - "C"lock (Hourglass) F - diamond "F"lake G - "G"ee, I love head (arrowhead) H - "H"irquois J - "J"elly Donut (Springbok - donut base) L - "L"ong Diamond (Open facing diamond) M - "M"an, I hate spiders (double spiders) O - "O"h no, a compressed! (compressed accordian) Not sure these are helpful to anyone else, but they work for me Blue Skies!>> "Here's how you cure cancer: make it more cool for a kid to grow up to be a scientist than it is for him or her to be an athlete or a Pop Star.
