8-way divepool memorization help needed

[Merkur 1]

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?

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).

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

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

I've downloaded it on my blackjack (Windows Mobile 6) and it works as a charm. Time to impress my friends at the DZ
