Nactation Key | Nactation | Traditional Notation | Note |
|---|
| D (Down) | 13/10 | Blots in the outer board are preferred when they are farther from the 6pt.
|
| E (Each) | 15/14, 6/4 | Holding the 14pt beats holding the 15pt.
|
| e (Each) | 14/13, 6/4 | Holding the 15pt beats holding neither the 14pt nor 15pt.
|
| E (Each) | 15/13, 6/5 | Third place in the Each family holds neither the 14pt or the 15pt.
|
| N (Near) | 13/11, 6/5 | The second-ranked play is n = 8/7, 5/2. By the 6pt Convention, holding the 8pt beats holding the 13pt.
|
| R (Run) | 15/13, 15/14 | In the Run family, the entire move is played on the far side of the board, and at least one checker lands between the 13pt and 17pt.
|
| Z (Reverse split) | 14/11 | Because the 12pt is blocked, the 1 must be played on the far side of the board. Then the 2 is played down. If the 2 could be played first, this move would be ranked atop the D (Down) family.
