I don't really have that good a feeling for 3a3a, but in a scoreless game I would probably not double, and I would play 24/18 9/7. It seems like Yellow wants to take the opportunity to escape now while Black is on the bar. Of course I bungled the position Max Urban posted recently, where hitting loose was right despite leaving two blots in the board, but there at least in Max's position the attacker had the stronger board and here Yellow's board is weaker.

Using the rule of thumb that at 3a3a one should double more aggressively than for money, I might double, but without much certainty. Also using the rule of thumb that checker play at 3a3a is similar to that for money, I would play 24/18 9/7 at 3a3a.
