Wow, I am surprised that someone actually recommended, in a book, to arrow-switch half the boards.

It has occurred to me to wonder whether there was any consideration of math in Harris' recommendations, or just "this seems like a good idea".

Just for curiosity, for all of these Hesitation Mitchells which seem to all have you not Arrow Switch the Hesitation Table, how much difference would it make to arrow switch all the tables, including the hesitation table?
Why would I ask this? It's going to be very difficult to get any director at my local club to try using a Hesitation Mitchell and I'd like to avoid any exceptions in the movements to raise the chance of no errors happening.
I do realize the EW pair at the hesitation table in the penultimate table will be EW cards the last two rounds if the arrow switch occurs for the last round only.

Off the cuff, you arrow switch stationary pairs. No pair at the pivot table is stationary.

Sorry for giving this old thread a bump, but I created this exact movement for my local club, since the way it's growing we will soon have 11 tables. Anyway, it accepted and saved the movement, except the boards don't smoothly go down in order. Under 'Board Setup for Round 1', I have the correct boards, except it has the Bye Stand after table 11, and I can't figure out how to move it to between 5 and 6. Any thoughts?
EDIT - Once I exited out of the game setup and just went into movements from the main screen, it has 23 and 24 as the first Byestand boards, between tables 11 and 1. How do I fix this? Thanks for the help.
EDIT 2 - I also realized that for 11.5 tables, I want to create a 13 round, 12 table Hesitation Mitchell. How would I set up, and then move the 2 sets of sitout boards to put them between 5 and 6? Again, thanks for the help.
