Cube action?

Using the Trice method to adjust the pipcount,

For blue:

add 4 for two spares on the ace
add 4 for four spares on the deuce
add 1 for two checkers outside the homeboard

for white

add 1 for two checkers outside the homeboard
subtract 1 for the extra homeboard point

that gives an adjusted pipcount of 64 to 70.

Point of last take is 10% +1 or 7 pips. At six pips, blue is within the doubling window and white has a take. For money, that is.

How does score affect the cube? It should make the take easier and maybe push it into ND territory. I'd still ship it. Some may drop.
