White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 162 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 167 score: 0 Blue is Player 1 XGID=-b----E-C---dE--ac-da---B-:0:0:1:42:0:0:3:0:10 41$-42 These are the rules (as I understand them): The Up family is a double-letter family. Letters are assigned in the sequence U, V, u, v, U, V, u, v, ... The destination(s) for moves in this family always lie between the 24pt and the 18pt. By definition, the play(s) that moves up the farthest takes precedence over other plays. In case of a tie, the hit/most/six rule is applied. With 41$-42, the farthest one can play is up to the 18pt. There are two moves that do so: 24/20*/18 and 24/22/18. To resolve the tie, one applies the hit/most/six rule. By the hit convention, U = 24/20*/18 and V = 24/22/18. After that, come the plays that do not move out to the 18pt. Here, there is only one, 24/22, 24/20*. It is assigned the letter u. So, why do I instinctively want to reserve the letter V for 24/22, 24/20*? Mike
