The two children at the top count as two levels, which is fair, isn't it?

Erik - enjoy the show on Sunday. Do you know of anywhere there is an explanation, in any language, of the various castell configurations? I have been trying to figure it out from observation but I've not got it yet. I always count one less level than they seem to claim - I suppose they must be counting the 2 kids at the top as 2 levels?

Thanks for the info about the TV coverage on 33. We can watch it online at tv3.cat even if we don't understand everything that's being said.
