I badly misread this position

The quiz factor suggests you didn't double but that this is double/pass.

Having 3 checkers on the ace point is particularly ugly since blue's bar point is made. This is a clear double by Woolsey's Rule. I think it's a big take for money, and I guess it's still a take at the match score, but I think the take is close and may depend on the MET you use.

Gammons are worth a lot on a 2-cube, White can't redouble on a gammon threat, and the take point is high at 4-away 4-away because it's an unusually small disadvantage to trail 3-away 4-away.
