In Response To: 5pt or bar? (mtuhtan)

This may cause someone to call me not only cheater but also traitor ;-) ... but I have no problem believing the result.

If you look at the upcoming rolls for Blonde, there are significant differences on playability for some rolls. Look for example at 65 and 63 (especially). 54 also plays better after making the bar. I think there is a distributional and landing point argument for making the bar (the barpoint is a more valuable landing point for a spare than the 5 point), but would not have expected that to swing immediate shots and difference in value of the points made.
