I have estimated a "realistic take point" using rollouts for racing cubes of a certain length. (I don't feel like checking right now. I think the certain length was something like 80 pips.) I have done this for matches between 3a and 6a. I will go further, but this is not my top priority project.

These takes points give an "implied cube efficiency". There are some calculational issues with this concept which I haven't resolved yet. But, what people really want are the take points anyway.

Cube efficiencies are as low as 26.5% for 3a-6a and as high as 76% for 4a-3a. Note that the very low cube efficiencies are for scores where the dead cube take point is very close to the fully live take point, so it doesn't really matter anyway.

I don't remember whether or not I tested race length. I would expect little difference due to race length until the race became very short.
