At first, I found it a little hard to follow your references to "major split" and "minor split" (though in the end I sorted it out), in large part because each of those terms (as classically interpreted) might reasonably refer to either of two moves. Although for part of your text you were making a general reference to half the move, as a full move the major split might be 24/21 13/11 or 24/21 6/4, and the minor split might be 24/22 13/10 or 24/22 6/3.

You might want to use "major aplit" and "minor split" to refer to a half-move and use traditional notation or Nactation when referring to a full move. In case you choose Nactation, the letters are:

    S (Split) = 24/21 13/11
    Z (reverse split) = 24/22 13/10
    E (Each) = 24/21 6/4
    W (Wild) = 24/22 6/3 (can also be "e")

I agree that E is probably best at dmp. Indeed your money rollout ranks Z third in win percentage, and although the result may differ with checkers AtS, E will emerge the likely winner both at dmp and (especially) at gammon save.
