So the output screen at XG has the labels for the players backwards, does not mention the +4, and should calculate 56 - 54 = 2 instead of 54 - 56 = -2.

The -1 bonus is not appropriate here. Even though an extra point is covered it is better to not have a checker on the ace point. Also having two extra checkers is worth something. The effective pip count lead is actually 5.6 pips instead of the actual pipcount lead of 5 or the 4 implied by the adjustment.

I have always seen Trice count used to mean the effective pipcount and not as you used it.
