Yes, but lilwarrior is up 2-0. That's good! But abriscoe is up in the next game, maybe looking to double. That's bad.

If so, should lw accept? Stay tuned.

Not always the best advice though, as getting a 4 cube thrown back can be quite a shock  

If your opponent is 4-away, get the cube over asap.

In CT 5 - we used Crawford Rule when the score was 4-3. Now, it is 4-4. I expect to use the Dead Cube Rule which means there is no need to use doubling cube. Right?

Correct. That's my understanding of the rule.

I approve KumaraKid, so I guess I approve Steelerhead too !

Cohost T5

4/4 = Dead cube if your are playing to 5 points. No reason to use the cube

One of the players will win with final score of 5 / 4

Good luck with the game =)

i hv't known it earlier that dead cube game some times teases the LEADER very much..
in current tourney, in two of my games i was leading and was winning the game but could not offer the cube due to dead cube rule,it really irritated me

But that's the point. It allows in that last game the opportunity to come back. It could be thrilling!

That is a consideration you have to make when deciding whether to take a cube that puts you at match point ahmed. Knowing that you can never cube out the other player in return and you have to play out the game will affect that decision.
