Compass direction—Arrow switches and Howells

The players that report and confirm the score in the first round are referred to as “Master players”.

In movements where the players do not keep the same compass direction there is a choice between

i. North <-> East; South <-> West

and

ii. North <-> West; South <-> East

In the first case (i) a player starting as North will never play as South or West.

That is to say, a North player that plays a round as West will revert to North if the West position is not kept.

The alternative (ii) is that a North player will alternate between North and East.

A South player will take the East or West position depending on the setting.

Similary an East player will EITHER play as East or North; OR East or South.The players that report and confirm the score in the first round are referred to as “Master players”.
