Dead Toss
(SEE Flat)
A Dead Toss (Also known as a Flat) is when you throw a bar object (such as a bottle, tin etc..) with no rotation.
It may have spin. Usually spin will help project the object but it can not have any rotation to be called a Dead Toss or Flat.This is a very helpful technique for working Flair because if you were to rotate a full bottle you would incur a spill.

Difficulty
The degree of difficulty that the bartender's routine contains as a whole. Only moves that are successful will be taken into account when determining the bartender's difficulty score. If a bartender attempts a trick and does not hit it, and does not go back to attempt it again, the trick will not count towards the bartender's difficulty. Difficulty can come in several forms. It could be the level of difficulty in one individual move. It could be the combination of a series of moves put together, or it could even be the way a bartender incorporates music with their routine and moves. Keeping a routine on cue with music demonstrates tremendous difficulty. (This would also add to the SHOWMANSHIP: OVERALL ENTERTAINMENT).
