For Hurdle the Uncertainty inferences, does this usually occur only in grouping games right?

Hi Kmikaeli,

You are correct. Hurdle the Uncertainty situations are built around tight numerical scenarios, where a set number of variables are available to fill an even more limited number of positions. This is an inherently grouping idea, and it's usually tested in Defined Unbalanced Overloaded Grouping Games, although it does appear in Balanced Grouping Games as well. As far as Linear games go, the principle can be applied when not all the variables available can be placed in order, i.e. when some variables can (or should be) excluded from the linear base. As you may notice, this would introduce a grouping element into the game, and we'd probably classify the game as "Grouping/Linear."

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
