Here, I had no idea whether to drop or pass so I Axelised.
I was also determined to use tournament conditions
(insofar as this is possible playing online) so I tried to
remember the Axelionomic principles rather than googling them.

[BTW, don't you think "insofar" is a fantastic word? Huge praise
for whoever thought of stringing three words together like that.
Normally, it's Germans that do that.]

I assume that 11A 11A plays like money, particularly for an initial
cube. Note that the common pre-Axelisations lead to bad takes.
8/9/12 leads to [112% * 71 > 79 ] -> take.
10% + 2 also leads to a bad take [71 * 1.1 + 2 > 79].

These were my Axelisation steps. Please do speak out if I got any wrong.
I have 2 more crossovers than my opponent and a gap on 4,5,6 that my
opponent doesn't. So add 2 + 1 to my pip count to get 82.
Then add 1/6 of 71 to 71 for 82 5/6. Then I dropped (correctly) because
82 5/6 - 82 < 2. It's quite a big drop actually and also quite a clear
Axelisation verdict.

"pass" -> "take" of course.
