   Hello,

   I have a trick when the tama is over a cup in a wrong position. I shake my hand and the ball moves. This way I can put the hole in the position I want.

   Is it allowed?

In competitions or gradings, no. Practice Hole Control!

   Thanks for the answer @BKA.

   Is allowed to do... the Lighthouse putting the string in the middle of the ball and the base cup? (it's easier because grip better)
Enjoy your life. Circus and love!

It is allowed, but it is quite hard to do and it is not really better balance.

   Thanks @shalafi.

   Sometimes, when I do an "around" trick the string roll over the ken. Is allowed to do...: an "special trick" to unroll? For example, if I must move from the small cup to the big cup, can I do it with an orbit at the same time? Or if I do this isn't the same "around"?
Enjoy your life. Circus and love!

   Is it allowed to... stop for a few seconds in the middle of the Moshi Kame? I mean to broke the rhythm to rest and to concentrate a little bit.

No. You must keep the rhythm going.
Quite often, if making a "save", a player may be forced to slow down a little (examiner's discretion) before regaining her rhythm, but stopping completely is not allowed.

   OK, maybe the trick "Hey, look there!" is a good option to rest a little bit. :D

   Is it allowed to do... the lighthouse in move? Sometimes I got it but I must move the tama all time the get the balance for more than 3 seconds. Or the 3 seconds must count in stop position?
Enjoy your life. Circus and love!

3 seconds from a still position. No movement of the point of contact.
