I'm not sure what you mean by a "best-of-N games match." Though I changed the rules of backgammon by disregarding gammons, backgammons, and the cube, I intended an "11-point match" to mean a match that is played until one player wins 11 points, not an 11-game match.

If Donald blunders only at DMP, then he blunders only in matches that reach a 10-10 score, whereas Nellie blunders in every match.
