In Response To: Question about cubeless rollouts in XG and GNU (Timothy Chow)

When doing a cubeless rollout (for money or match) the following happens

No double will occur during RO

checker play decision are made cubeful

upon completion of the RO the Janowski formula is applied to the overall result.

I can see Tim's point of view that checker play should be cubeless (i.e. no Janowski at the lowest level of evaluation). What is the consensus amongst the community?

There is a way to do what you want if you isolate the position: go to setup/"Maximum cube value" and set it to cubeless. Now all RO (with cubeless flag or not) will make all decisions knowing that the cube cannot be turned.

PS: thanks for posting that kind of question here rather than by email as it is of global interest.
