I Vote for the Conventional Definition

Thanks Xavier, that clears it up regarding what goes on with the cubeless numbers. I'm glad they aren't being used for anything else. Count me in as voting emphatically for displaying the cubeless numbers in the conventional way for money games, regardless of whether or not Jacoby is in use.

In the case of a match score, I still like the conventional method, since I think it's good to have the cubeless number be the same regardless of what match equity table is used. Keeping the conventional definition also helps with bot comparisons, to see if one bot is not only cubing differently at a score, but also playing the checkers differently. Of course we could still look at the breakdown of wins/gs/bgs for that purpose, but having the single number on the page makes it easier to do. I am voting for conventional numbers for this situation also.

In short, I am pulling the lever for "Conventional definition of cubeless equity" across the board.
