Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy (Lookback 1) Verified Mark #3

Column 3 has 2 beads. Column 2 has 1 bead. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 4 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 3 with Column 2, 1 column further back.
  2. Column 3 has 2 beads. Column 2 has 1 bead. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

Small Road (Lookback 2) Verified Mark #3

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 4 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Cockroach Pig (Lookback 3) Verified Mark #3

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 5 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 3 columns back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

WA SCOREBOARDS & LOOKBACK VERIFICATION

How Tacoma, Auburn, Tulalip, Snoqualmie, Ridgefield, and Spokane 5-road boards Track Washington (WA) Shoes

Across Tacoma, Auburn, Tulalip, Snoqualmie, Arlington, Ridgefield, and Airway Heights, Tacoma, Auburn, Tulalip, Snoqualmie, Ridgefield, and Spokane 5-road boards display the Bead Plate, the 6-row Big Road, and the three lookback grids (Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig) for Washington (WA) players. On this 40-hand Washington trajectory (21 Banker wins, 16 Player wins, and 3 ties across 24 WA columns), WSGC-compliant boards generate 34 Big Eye Boy marks, 33 Small Road marks, and 31 Cockroach Pig marks.

Because RCW Chapter 9.46, WAC Chapter 230-15 & Class III Tribal-State Compacts requires physical 8-deck card shuffles and burn procedures at every Washington (WA) table in Tacoma, Auburn, Tulalip, Snoqualmie, Arlington, Ridgefield, and Airway Heights, scoreboard streaks recorded on Tacoma, Auburn, Tulalip, Snoqualmie, Ridgefield, and Spokane 5-road boards reflect completed WA hands only and never alter the mathematical odds of the next card dealt in Washington.
