My thoughts...both of them

In Response To: Why is DMP play so important? (Stick)

As Matt mentioned, one of the main points is errors made at DMP are more costly than errors made earlier in the match. A simple example is say you're in a match to 21, you roll an opening 31. You were just playing Kill Phil rules and forget so you play 24/23 13/10. If you do it the first game of the match you've given away easily under 1% match winning chances. Fast forward to DMP, the same grievous error costs you 6% MWC.

To the second point, which Neil pointed out. The most important score to understand in match play is money-like scores, there's no question there. I believe the second most important score by far is DMP. In close matches DMP like games are bound to occur. Maybe everyone realizes this already but all the following scores are basically DMP:

  • -1 -1 (true DMP)


  • -2 -2 (cut out the cuteness with the cube, true DMP)


  • -1 -2 (Post Crawford, DMP, free drop for the leader, trailer should not slot opening rolls)


  • -1 -3 (Crawford, DMP, just make sure you don't lose a bg)


  • -1 -5 (Crawford, DMP, again, don't lose a bg)

So you see you can actually be forced to play more than one "DMP" game in a single match! (get your misnomers here)
