chouette rotation

In my mind, the Captain and Crew are a team. The Captain is simply the designated shooter.

The ultimate winner of the game (bears off all checkers / doubles out all opponents) decides the victor between the Box and the Crew. In the event that the Box does not maintain equity in the process or break even, it's a double loss.

A Captain who makes points in the game by getting dropped but the Crew that takes over loses the game can take a small solace in having not lost any points in the matter.

Usually this comes from a Captain lagging the Crew in doubling. Is the Captain too late (which could be taken advantage of in a 'Captain must be beat' ruleset) or the Crew too early (this will bear out against them in the long run), who knows. But this takes that artificial cube management out of the mix.

At root for me is that this is a 1vsMany game and not a 1v1 + hangers on. Win as a team or lose as a team, there is no in-between other than possible small spoils as consolation.
