In the 80s, I used to know A1 from A2...but it's all a blur to me now. A1 is mostly just Plus+Plus for sight calling, since it's mostly the weaker dancers that haven't gotten through A2 confidently.
Someone saying from the floor "Let's do an A1 tip!" leaves me a bit skeert. I'm one of those old fogies that's behind getting rid of A1 as a separate convention identity altogether, other than as a bookmark to say "we're about 1/4 way through the Advanced program, and we rushed through Plus anyway just to get here" (in spite of A1 being 1/2 the calls).
