I am still wondering if someone knows from current competitions what figures are being used the most.
I have been studying pro-am teachers' repertoires very closely for many years, specifically for the purpose of writing our syllabus. So I think you'll find that the syllabus I posted previously is a very accurate representation of the material currently being used. The additional figures I mentioned are those that are not part of our syllabus, but are nonetheless popular and useful. I think you'll find that the two together comprise a nearly complete list. Although I did have a couple of additional thoughts:
-- Open Circling Runs, though not considered a continuity action, are comprised of multiple consecutive passing steps, so would likely be frowned upon by an invigilator. Best to strike those from the list.
-- Add to the list Opening Outs to L and/or R. (They're the less goofy version of the Curtsies).
-- The introductory bow & curtsy is a popular Viennese intro in both American and International style. It's not a syllabus figure per-se; It is simply done as a convention.
-- I've seen Right- and Left-Side Roll-Ins quite often. Their inclusion doesn't seem to break any NDCA rules, but I don't recommend it. By most accounts they're considered a Silver or Gold level move, and they don't exist in Bronze in any syllabus I know of. Whether one chooses to use these and other similarly questionable patterns depends on whether they're concerned with what's appropriate for the level (not to mention fair), or whether they're more interested in seeing what they can "get away with". If you're looking for maximum variety, you can probably get away with them.
