"Hit/Most/6" rule spelled out

To reinforce the difficulties of creating an algorithm for Hit/Most/Six, consider this. Seemingly, the Hit Convention groups all plays that hit at the top of the Nactation hierarchy. That being the case, a program might begin with these statements:



 

function A_outranks_B( playA, playB ) 

if playA.hits() and not playB.hits() then 

	return true; 

else if playB.hits() and not playA.hits() then 

	return false; 

else 

	// Check most points 

	// etc. 

end function


This code fails, however, because certain plays that do not hit at all outrank some hitting plays. In particular, those plays that make an inner-board point in lieu of hitting rank higher.


Please, don't just nod in agreement. Show me some if-statements, and be sure to include consideration for "more hits are better than fewer hits."
