Follow these steps to compare two plays in the same Nactation family, and determine which, if either, ranks higher under the Hit Convention.
- If neither play hits, then the Hit Convention is a tie.
- If either or both plays hit, then the one that results in the highest number of inner-board points ranks higher. This is true whether it hits or not.
- If both plays result in the same number of inner-board points, then the one that makes the most hits outranks the other. Double hits, for instance, always beat single hits.
- If both plays make the same number of hits, then the one that hits on the highest point wins.
- If the highest point is a tie, then check the second highest point where a hit is made. And so on.
- If all the hits in the two plays occur on the same points, then the Hit Convention results in a tie.
Step 2 above is what determines the ranking of A = 8/5(2), 6/1*(2).
