To your questions:
1: Right, the vast majority of Sicilians are completely symmetrical.
2: Because of this, I don't think there's a default for whether CW or CCW are
the "1s". You can just pick which one you want.
3. Yes, there are non-symmetric Sicilians -= I'm looking at notes for "The
Molly Andrew", a waltz Sicilian; it has the 1s ("those facing clockwise") do
the figure through the 2s and then the 2s through the 1., and it's fine so long
as you get across who goes first. Way better to indicate that visually rather
than just say it.

Subject: [Callers] Re: Sicilian Circle question
Hello group, It's been a while since I called a Sicilian Circle, but I may soon
- two questions:
1. Typically, one couple isn't considered the "ones" and the other "twos",
right?
2. If there are ones and two, which couple would be considered the "ones" -
CW or CCW?
3. If there are not typically ones and twos, has anyone tried ascribing
those roles for a Sicilian circle dance. That is, I had an idea for a dance
that ends with a square dance figure requiring one couple to arch first, thus
the need for separate numbers.
I did attempt to find an answer online and was not initially successful.
Thoughts?
Chuck
