Naccel race formula

As an after work student I am struggling hard with Prof. Ballards recent Nacceleration course (already 50 pages seminary printout!)

Exercise for me: Ballard/Grandell match in MBG.

Compared to traditional cluster counting the big POOF makes a great step forward for easier pipcounting.

In Naccel we get something like: Black: Nb/Cb; White: Nw/Cw for the super counts and the corrections.

"It does when you compare it to your opponent's similarly small count (and if you want to apply a race formula, Naccel has one). But we're getting ahead of ourselves. For now, do it the "hard" way: multiply by 6 and add 90 -- which in this case comes to 132."

I hope I did not miss it here: The next step would be of course to omit the "hard way" over the calculation via the traditional pipcount and the use a traditional race formula for racing D/T decisions. ...and instead to use the Naccel count direct for the D/T decions.

So I would be happy to hear something about "Narde" (Nack's advanced racing double equation :)
