Greg,
Thanks for writing out the Sportsman sequence for those who have yet to master Aresti. But there are a few minor errors, first, figure one the Goldfish the inside loop of this figure is a 3/4 loop, not 7/8.
On figure 5 the Humpty Bump, since it's a Y axis cross-box figure regardless of the direction of flight into the figure you can roll ether direction on the upline, the difference is that you will be going outbound or inbound for the half outside loop at the top. Just as you said, the 3/4 roll on the downline must be in the opposite direction as your upline roll so that you exit in the same direction as the entry. As a competitor you should practice this figure both inbound and outbound to help you adjust your placement on the X axis, we all know that all winds on contest days are cross <g>.

Thanks again,

Tom Wheeler
