| Family | Nactation | Traditional Notation | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slot | $ | bar/23, 6/5 | Slotting the 5pt beats slotting the 4pt. |
| Alternate slot | % | bar/24, 6/4 | For $ and %, the non-slotting portion of a roll is usually played down to a destination in one's outer board. Entering from the bar is also allowed. |
| Anchor | @ | bar/23, 24/23 | |
| Four | 4 | bar/24, 6/4 | Numerals always imply assumptive Nactation, but the Nactations of 4 and 5 are easy in this position. |
| Five | 5 | bar/23, 6/5 | Move in the 5 family move to either the 5pt or 15pt. There are no rules describing the rest of the play. Assume a “good” play was made, and figure out the rest. |
| Each | E | bar/23, 6/5 | E is for plays that move one checker on the far side of the board and the other in the inner board. |
| Each | e | bar/24, 6/4 | A blot on the 5pt is closer to the 6pt than one on the 4pt. |
| Split | S | bar/24, 13/11 | Under the Convenience Clause, when the S family is empty, either S or Z can be used for plays in the Z family. |
| Up | U | bar/22 | Under the More Points Convention, niether the 23pr nor 24pt are counted as made points. |
| Variant up | V | bar/23, 24/23 | Two spares on the 23pt ranks below blots destinations on the 23pt and 22pt (which is what bar/22 has). |
| Wild | W | bar/23, 6/5 | W is for blotty plays that typically leave a blot in both inner boards (or on the bar point). |
| Wild | w | bar/23, 8/7 | |
| Reverse split | Z | bar/24, 13/11 | Under the Convenience Clause, when the S family is empty, either S or Z can be used for plays in the Z family. |
The Nactations above follow guidelines in the new edition of the Nactation Tutorial. Frankly, this list is too long. The only ones used in Miran’s rollout were W, S, e, @, and U. The others are presented only because they were discussed in this thread back in 2011.
