While researching different methods for adjusting pip counts, I thought it would be interesting to see if I could find a way to improve on the other methods. The following formula was developed by trial-and-error using the database of noncontact positions. Here is how it works:

For each player, start with the basic pip count, then

add 2 pips for each checker more than 1 on the one point;

add 1 pip for each checker more than 1 on the two point;

add 1 pip for each checker more than 3 on the three point;

add 1 pip for each empty space on points four, five, or six.
