Prelude
The Descriptive System [from now on referred to as “DS”] was a project that started in June 2005, with the goal to make the terminology of footbag meet the demands of our developing sport. Before the DS, there was no official, structured system to describe already existing, and invented moves. As footbag developed its possibilities were still unknown, and as new concepts were invented their description was weak, overlapped with other concepts and led to misunderstandings. Before footbag became a competitive sport there was no need for precise descriptions, but as footbag developed the naming system did not.
During the past two decades the sport has been evolving rapidly and a lot of new concepts have come up that cannot be described well with the old tools. New players were forced to memorize an illogical, unorganized system, which is an impossible task. Although some new nicknames were created, the DS was made to be an efficient way to organize and describe tricks, relying on most of the known conventions.
The DS also addresses the out of date terminology, such as butterfly and pixie. As footbag has grown into a professional sport, there was simply a need for a modernization of terms. Important to note, is that the DS has nothing to do with the ADD-system. The DS does not use the term “Paradox” and does not describe the difficulty of a trick or a concept.
What is new with the Descriptive System is that each concept has its own name. There are now names for what used to be reverse dexterities, for example Reverse Whirl is now called Whip and Reverse Swirl is now called Twist. Then there are new concepts that have not been able to be explained before, like Late.
The Descriptive System does change quite a few terms. The process of changing to the new system might be awkward for those who have been in the sport for a long time and see the old terms as some sort of legacy from the pioneers of the sport. Although inconvenient for patrons of the sport, this new system has no patches or exceptions, making it clearer to newcomers to pick up the vocabulary. With these issues solved, it becomes an easier way to promote and teach our sport to potential interested parties.

Part 1
1-Beginning and Ending of a Move
A-a move starts:
1) When the footbag separates from your body.
2) When a component starts from a frozen stall.
B-a move ends:
1) The last moment before the footbag separates from your body.
2) When a stalled footbag is frozen.
3) When a component ends from a frozen stall.
1) Front
2) Side
3) Back
*Rule: To qualify for Back, the footbag must be behind your back and blind. If the footbag is behind you and visible, it becomes Side.
1) Front
2) Side
3) Cross: when your leg crosses behind your second leg, and ends on the opposite side of your body.
4) Blind: when the footbag is behind your back, and not visible.
5) Coil: when the leg which comes into contact with the footbag wraps in front of your support leg, ending up behind you and on the same body side.
6) Top: when your foot is at shoulder height.
1) Far: changes the body side.
2) Near: remains on the same body side.
*Rule: Far and near are used relative to the last contact, dex or spin.
*Note: Inside stall is equivalent to toe stall, even though it can cross in front of your other leg.
1) Core: continuous mid to downtime part of a move. i.e: whirl, mirage, rake.
2) Set: continuous up to midtime part of a move. i.e: atomic, stepping, ducking.
1) Front set: from front to far.
2) Near set: from front to near.
3) Far set: from side to far.
4) Side set: from side to near.
*Rule: Each trick has only one name regardless of the basic set. There are two exceptions: around-the-world and orbit. (See 16-Single dex.)
1) Front: never use Front, unless you want to specify it. (i.e: toe to mirage, toe to whirl)
2) Near: always use Near. (i.e: toe to near illusion, toe to near double down)
3) Far: always use Far. (i.e: clipper to far pickup, clipper to far torque)
4) Side: never use Side, unless you want to specify it. (i.e: clipper to drifter, clipper to eggbeater)
1) Kick: when touched with the leg or foot.
2) Hit: when touched with a part of your upper body.
3) Stall: a momentary delay of the footbag, regardless of where on body.
A-Front:
1) Toe stall
2) Inside stall: the footbag touching the inner arch surface of your foot.

4) Tilt: late outside stall

A dex (dexterity) occurs when the area between your ankle and knee passes in front, or over the footbag.
1) Mirage type dex: front dex done in front of the footbag.
2) Whirl type dex: side dex done over the footbag.
3) Swirl type dex: cross dex done over the footbag.

3) Whirl : front to back
4) Whip : back to front
5) Swirl : back to front

14-Dex Cleanliness
There are three terms to describe how well a dex was executed.
1) Clean: the footbag was dexed between knee and ankle.
2) Thin: the footbag was dexed between ankle and toes.
3) The : the footbag was dexed lower or farther than the toes, so it wasn’t dexed.
*Note: Clean is regarded as the best execution, and The is regarded as the worst.
Wait & Quick are two different timing of a core concept.
1) Wait: describes a dex done downtime, after the footbag peaked.
2) Quick: describes a dex done midtime, as the footbag peaks.
*Note: Specifying wait or quick is not mandatory. They are used to specify an uncommon technique. Wait is generally the regular technique.
