The rough answer is both yes and no. When you are bearing off, you should never want reach the ideal position which has 15 checkers and a pip count of 57. In order to get there, you would probably have to move checkers inside, when you should be ripping them off. See the following diagram. Pip count 57, 15 checkers in play Position ID: AAAA2r0bAAAAAA Match ID: cAkAAAAAAAAA If you are allowed to take checkers off, then the ideal position for a pip count of 57 is the one below. Pip count 57, no restriction on number of checkers Position ID: AAAAqPcBAAAAAA Match ID: cAkAAAAAAAAA When you have checkers outside, however, and have not borne any off, the wave or hump that you observed does appear. But this time, it is in the outer board! As the pip counts gets lower, it creeps toward the inner board. Mike
