Just change one rule

but in major tournaments how often do you see a srong pass at this score.

If you meant wrong and not strong here, you're making my point- at the top level of a major tournament you will rarely see a wrong pass. But in side events that generally have a a wide range of skill level, you do. A friend who played in New York said he got a pass in the 2-pt match at 2-away 2-away prior to his 2nd roll after an opening 42 followed by opp's 43.

If we really dont want the better players to have an edge based on their skill and knowledge, then I suggest we make the giants all play blindfolded (and allow the rest of us to cheat).

I am in no way suggesting that better players should not have an edge based on their skill and knowledge. But if I'm lining up to run a 40-yard dash against Odell Beckham, I'm at enough of a disadvantage that you don't need to give him a 10-yard start.

You know 2-away 2-away is a special score. At what other score (other than of course 1-away 1-away) can you say with certainty prior to the start of the game, that, with optimal play, the match should always end in 1 game?
