Entry from the Bar Allows Assumptive Alternatives

In a play that enters a checker from the bar, Nactation affords a large amount of latitude in the choice of Nactation families. That is because the entering portion of the play can be assumed.
White is Player 2

score: 0
pip: 143
Unlimited Game
Jacoby Beaver
pip: 164
score: 0

Blue is Player 1
XGID=------EbCA--cD---cbe----AA:0:0:1:35:0:0:3:0:10
Blue to play 35

For bar/22 9/4, there are a pair of alternatives that might have been used lieu of C (Cross).

With entry from the bar assumed, the numeral "4" makes a perfect Nactation. The 4 (Four) family has only the one member. When transcribing over the board, this might make a fine choice, but most nactator's will later replace it. Numerals are somewhat awkward in Nactation, especially when they are used in nacbracs.

Given the assumption of entry, the J (Jump) familiy can also be used for bar/22 9/4, but ranking this play in the J (Jump) family is no easier than ranking it in the C (Cross) family.
