Intended to only be a 1260, but Tj picked a composition meant for Plain Bob instead of Cambridge, therefore resulting in an unexpected half-peal instead of a quarter. Luckily, the group was resilient.

Rung in celebration of UW Convocation for the 2025-26 school year.

Believed to be the first performance of the method x1456x16x36,14. We propose the name Seattle Bob Minor. This method is notable for being the only plain minor method with no wrong places to not yet be named, out of a total of 54 such methods.

Composition rung was OIOx3, single halfway and end, called with the 2 unaffected. Bobs are 16, singles are 1456.

First in method: all.

First conducted in tower: 2.

With thanks to Tim Black and Tom Farthing, with whom the conductor discovered this method in 2019 while at the University of Chicago.
