In Response To: Nactation Questions — Clarifying the P (Point) family (Nack Ballard)

When all the dice in a roll are used to cover an existing blot, can the play be nactated in the P (Point) family? My guess is, “yes.” As an example, consider the sequence 21$-62Z-42 diagrammed below. 21$-62Z-42 Position ID: 4OvgASTQc+QBMA Match ID: cAkKAAAAAAAA The best play is to cover the blot on the 5pt. Can it be nactated P? Is the following table correct?

P (Point) Family

Traditional Notation	Hits on These Points (more is better) (higher is better)	Owned Points Not Held by All Members in Family (more is better) (closer to 6pt is better)	Blot and Spare Destinations (closer to 6pt is better) (outer board: farther is better)	Nactation
11/5		5pt*		P
8/4, 6/4		4pt*		p
13/9, 11/9		9pt*		P

^*This is the deciding criterion.

Thanks.

Mike
