3 AWAY 3 AWAY

Notes for this score follow below.  Fairly short this time.

Bill

Takepoint about 30% is very high.  Therefore double early and pass early. Most holding games are probably drops.  But gammon value is .5 same as money, so checker play mirrors money play.  Double race very early and also drop very early.  30% race take is much much higher than your money racing formulas.


Kit

1.       Takepoint is very high at this score, about 30%.  Therefore double early so as to not lose the market.

2.       Checker play and gammons are similar to money

Mochy

Race: Double much earlier than money.
Blitz: Double similar to money

Race: Tends to be pass.  "winning 2 point in 3 away is your main goal.  This can easily happen in race game, so tends to be pass"


Stick
