Definition of blunder: 0.06

In Response To: Definition of blunder: 0.06 (Paul Weaver)

Thanks for the origination credit (if deserved), though the bottom line is that the Ballard/Weaver "Error Scale" was a joint effort.

The cutoffs of the categories are at .01, .02, .03, .06 (blunder), .10 and .20.

The Error Scale (in table form) appears twice in Backgammon Openings: on page 93 and on the last page of the book. On request, I'll reproduce it here (in this thread) as well.
