The Holland ruleThe Holland rule is used in backgammon match games and decides that in post-Crawford games, the trailer can only double after both sides have played their two rolls. The rule makes the free drop more valuable to the leading player but generally just confuses the issue.Unlike the Crawford rule, this rule isn't popular, and is rarely used today. The beavers, raccoons, otters and any other animals in the backgammon game- These animals appear only, if wanted by both sides, in money games and never in match games. If player A, doubles the stakes, and player B believes A is wrong and he (player B) has the advantage, B can double the stakes and keep the doubling cube on his side. For example, if A makes the initial double and puts the doubling cube on 2, B can say "Beaver", turn the cube to 4 and keep the cube at his side. If A believes B is wrong he can say "Raccoon" and turn the cube to 8. All this time, B remains the owner of the doubling cube. If B wishes to raise the stakes once more, he only needs to say another silly name (the animal's name is a controversy among players) and so on.
