 Banning Tumbling
So no matter how competent they are at tumbling, their body comformation and level of training are not equal to what they were when they did gymnastics as girls.
Banning tumbling - as is the case in aerobics competition - would allow gymnasts to use their other skills as well as strength, flexibility and dance elements in their individual routines.
Many women who have not been competing in fitness say they would consider entering contests if tumbling were removed from the routines, and some who are currently competing but are discouraged by their lack of specific training in gymnastics report they would reconsider retiring from fitness competition if this change in the rules is instituted.

Tumbling toast, Murphy's Law and the Fundamental Constants
Toast does indeed have a natural tendency to land butter side down, essentially because the gravitation torque induced as the toast topples over the edge of the plate/table is insufficient to bring the toast butter-side up again by the time it hits the floor.
If tables were a lot higher - around 3 metres high - the problem of toast landing butter-side down would go away, as the toast would have enough time to complete a full rotation.

 A Closer Look at Tumbling Toast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
These interesting and entertaining papers were motivated, in part, by a desire to verify and explain the popularly held belief that toast, falling from a table, invariably lands butter side down.
These relatively large free fall angular velocities mean that toast, tumbling from a standard table of height 0.76 meters, will land butter side up (neglecting any bounce), unless the initial overhang is less than 0.008 meters.
In future, if the time resolution of the video recordings can be increased, it may be possible to use a tumbling board to investigate velocity weakening and strengthening of the kinetic friction force.

Dynamic Silicon, the missing-link technology, is emerging now and will unite the Microcosm and the Telecosm, and consummate the transformation of the economy of matter into an economy of mind.
Led in Congress by regulation lovers such as Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska, pressed by Republican governors such as Nevada's David Levitt to impose Internet taxes, and beset by conservatives who blame the Internet for pornography (rather than prosecuting pornographers), the party is imperiling the crucial expansion of the Internet economy.
Meanwhile, the president is preening for pollsters and junk science greens while hundreds of telecommunications companies tumble into the telechasm, choking on debt easily sustainable under favorable tax and regulatory conditions, but now rendered devastating by a global deflation.

 sanding, tumbling
Tumble sanding doesn't take the place of buffing since it won't make the beads shine.
Recently, I got tired of cutting up all those little chips and even more tired of trying to pick them out of the wet beads (the little chips get caught in the "tulip" of tiny Mobius beads and have to be removed with a pair of tweezers).
When I use rottenstone I tumble mine for maybe an hour or so, but that's only after they have gone through hours and hours of previous smoothing, sanding and tumbling.
