In Response To: Why no Jacoby rule in match play? (leobueno)

Oswald Jacoby and John Crawford were real pros. They cleverly invited this rules, which favours in general the informed players. In money game, the jacoby rule speeds up play, making the "short run" longer. If you have this in match play, gammon go and gammon save goes out of the window, a match score where a pro could write easily a book of thousand pages (Nack Ballard). And if there was no crawford rule, dito. Apart from that, no second chance at DMP for the ninjas.
