Another boring speed board vs pips race

I saw MCG with a very similar position in a choo Sat. He had a couple checkers on the 3 point also and the 5 point checker is moved back 1 pip to the 6 point and the 17 point checker is moved up to the 12 point. For EPC it was 66 pips. The formula for one straggler is 3.5 X number of checkers plus pipcount of straggler. That would give 15 X 3.5 + 12 = 64.5 and a couple pips for the checker on the 6 point seems about right. It is a little better to have a few on the 3 point so minus .5 pips

I was glad I checked it later becasue I had almost the identical race position the next day.

Yours looks to be about 4.5 - 5 worse. Note that it is worse not having any on the 3 point. So almost 71 EPC for you. Opponent has a great setup and has two already off so barely more than 7 to waste I think. So I get 71 EPC for you vs. 70 for opponent. Significant error to cube.
