The previous thread clarified that the backspot and toe-pitch count as spotters for a 2-1-1 pyramid. I have a few further questions...
What if the backspot is primarily supporting the base in the thigh stand (to prevent the base from falling backwards)? Does this now negate them as a spotter and an additional spotter would be required?
Please clarify... are bases that are involved in the mount (regardless of what the mount is) able to be spotters, provided they are not primary pyramid support and focused on the flyer? Can these bases also catch the dismount? If they do catch the dismount, can they still be considered spotters?
Dismounts from 2.5 pyramids... do they always require 3 catchers? Or would a coed 2 person cradle catch (with one base primarily supporting the neck/shoulder area) be allowed? Are there any exceptions for this rule dependant on what dismount is being performed? (ie. a 3/4 front rotation vs. a straight pop down to floor vs. a cradle)

I would very much appreciate your interpretation as I have not heard back from my e-mail inquiry to Les (Yes, I understand he is busy.)
THANK YOU!
