  Siteswap notation used in Juggling Lab
Siteswap notation is a very "compact" method, which has two major benefits: (1) it makes the notation amenable to computer analysis, and (2) it is easy for a person to look at a pattern and figure out how to do it.
An asynchronous siteswap is just a sequence of these numbers: The first number describes the first throw made, the second number the second throw (opposite hand as the first), and so on.
A siteswap '3' may be a standard toss, a bounced throw, a throw under the leg, or anything else, so long as it gets to its final destination in time for the next throw.

  Siteswap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Siteswap (also called Cambridge notation in the United Kingdom) is a notation used to describe juggling patterns.
Its simplest form, sometimes called vanilla siteswap, describes only patterns whose throws alternate hands and in which one ball is thrown at a time.
A further extension allows siteswap to notate patterns involving multiple throws from either or both hands at the same time in a multiplex pattern.

 Siteswap - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Siteswap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In juggling, siteswap (also called Cambridge notation in the United Kingdom) is a notation used to describe basic toss juggling patterns.
It encodes the height of each throw and the hand to which the throw is to be made; it does not describe body movements such as behind-the-back and under-the-leg.
Each basic juggling pattern is described by a sequence of numbers which denote the height of the throw to be made.

 About Siteswap
Siteswap is a way for jugglers to communicate a description of the patterns they juggle.
In short, a Siteswap is a string of digits, each of which represents the throw of a ball.
The siteswap is repeated in a cyclic manner and the hands take it in turns to throw balls.

 Propswap Notation by Jason Quinn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Siteswap is based on what kind of throw to make next whereas propswap is based on which object to throw next.
Proof: The sum of the digits of the siteswap pattern is equal to the number of objects times the length of the siteswap pattern.
The period of each sub-orbit is the sum of the throws in the siteswap of the sub-orbit.

 TWJC Misconceptions about siteswap
This is a mistake in the way siteswap is used to notate the pattern, and not a flaw with siteswap itself.
In terms of vanilla siteswap a 3 is a Cascade with two hands throwing alternately.
In terms of vanilla siteswap this pattern is roughly equivalent to 804207501 (roughly because the types of throw are equivalent but not the rhythm).

 How to Do Siteswap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In siteswap, you take the pattern of numbers you see and repeat them from left to right.
To determine the number of balls for a siteswap, just take the average of all the numbers.
Since the throws are always the same in this certain siteswap, it is deduced that a 3 is the height of a throw in a 3 ball cascade.

 Siteswap FAQ
One common division drawn between siteswaps is whether they are "ground state" or "excited state", which is whether one can begin juggling them directly from the cascade/fountain.
But this doubling of all the numbers in "synchronous siteswap" is by now pretty standard, because it gives the proper indication of the relative heights of the throws.
Basically all of the theory of vanilla siteswaps applies to these too, mutatis mutandis - you can follow a single ball to see what it does, divide the sum in that orbit by the total number of numbers to see how many balls are in the orbit, and so on.

 Back to the roots: an alternative extension of SiteSwap notation
A SiteSwap pattern with no extra provisions is meant to be juggled asynchronously, without any multiplexed throws, by a single person.
SiteSwap theory tells us in the usual way that this is indeed a valid trick and the average of the digits is the number of objects in the pattern, namely five.
This distinction is not made in the ordinary SiteSwap notation for this pattern, which is [32].

 4-Handed Siteswap
The first number in the siteswap for this pattern is therefore a 9, as you can work out by counting the number of throws between two throws of the same club.
The first thing you have to know about siteswap is that the number of clubs you need to throw a siteswap is equal to the average of the numbers in the siteswap.
To distinguish it from local siteswaps, the siteswap of the pattern as a whole is called the global siteswap.

 Siteswap Syncopations
I won't say much about all these different siteswaps below, other than a few general tips which apply to this entire family: None of the syncopations, complex as they might be at the thrower's end, should effect the catcher's pattern if thrown on time and to the correct heights.
Another extremely wise move is to have these siteswaps down cold while solo juggling before trying them while passing (in fact, you'll be amazed how much easier it will be when someone else has to catch your lousy triples).
One of the easier siteswaps, the key to getting the timing right is not to pause between the early double and the self triple, despite the instinct not to throw that triple "till you have to".

The siteswap may seem a little intimidating, the causal diagram might seem to indicate that each hand throws three times in a row, but don't let all these omens dismay you.
A fairly complicated combination, one of those "siteswap syncopations" where you find yourself muttering out loud the siteswap values of the throws as you make them, otherwise you are unlikely to remember them.
Frankly these siteswap syncopations are more a challenge and an exercise for me than an actual juggling pattern for their own sake.

The sum of all throw numbers in a siteswap string divided by the number of throws in the string gives the number of objects in the pattern.
Siteswap notation doesn't show us how a throw is made; for example Mills Mess has a siteswap of 3, which completely ignores the sinuous arm crossing that makes it beautiful and fun to juggle.
Besides which, the way you've written your siteswaps is *very* non-standard; I don't think there's a juggling simulator on the planet that would accept any of what you wrote.

Two patterns with different siteswaps are almost always very different from a juggling viewpoint.
On the other hand, while two patterns with the same siteswap may be considered very different by most jugglers, the differences can generally be stated as information additional to the siteswap.
Another sign of the naturality of siteswap is that it's very easy to get a handle on how difficult a pattern is; look at the highest number each hand has to do.

Small explanation, a normally juggler has 2 hands, with using 3 balls,he is often in the position where he has 2 balls in hands and the third is in the air, this ball can have advance or delay in the trick, that will not have any consequence on its good réalization.
The principle of the SiteSwap notation of the synchronous throws is as follows.
