I'm not sure if we currently publish the compulsories ahead of time (Bryan ?)
The 8 tricks we choose from were announced at the start of the season. The 4 tricks on the day are chosen according to wind conditions. There's been quite a bit of flier input as to which tricks we do, just not this weekend 'cos I was sat on me own-some writing the sheets out ahead of time - and at that time, there was plenty wind enough for rolling cascades, and we hadn't yet done this year the yo-yo multi or spike - hence the inclusion.
The 8 to chose from were picked to include a few bankers, a few more challenging and a few that were just plain tough - at least in the Masters category.
S'all good banter, keep it comin'.

edit... I'm actually more concerned about the fact that each trick is potentially worth 10 points (40 total), whereas the entire ballet is only worth 10. It's because of the way we score the freestyle as opposed to the full TP ballet points in line with FR, US and DE. Needs looking at I think.
