What about Beavers in Matches at certain scores?

Of course a beaver would greatly undermine match play strategies as we know them, and I certainly would not suggest they should generally be allowed, but I do think that if beavers were allowed on initial cubes only, and only when the score is 7away/7away or higher, it would be an interesting addition to match play that would add, rather than detract from the game.

I haven't studied this idea at all yet, but I think it might be possible, at 7away/7away to have a situation where it is right to double and right to beaver (probably something to do with the price and risk of gammons of a given position and how that might be affected by a beaver).

So as long as we are looking at hypotheticals, can anyone show me such a position or am I just dreaming that this could be possible?
