Here's one for your race formulas

"6pt 66.6, 5pt 80, 4pt 50, 3pt 66.6, 2pt 100, 1pt 200"

2 checkers on the 2 point. Should that be "... 2 pt 200..." which would give you the total of 663 intsead of 563?

If 2 pt is 100 per checker and 1 pt is 200 per checker then sliding a checker from the 2 pt to the ace point gives back in the adjustment the actual pip that it gains. But I am pretty sure that 2 1 * ... would usually be better than 1 2 * ... .

"blue needs to add a further 6.6 pips to his pip count which I refer to as his actual pip count"

So 40.6 is the what you call the actual pipcount? That is a terrible term for it. Words have meanings and it gets confusing when a word gets used in a definition in a way that is contrary to its regular meaning. Most will think that "actual pipcount" would mean the value of 34 and not 40.6

The idea of adding in values depending on where the checkers are is similar to Seret's idea in his pipple counting article where a method for estimating an EPC (he actually does it for rolls) is given. There he also accounts for gaps and structure.
