The Ascherman system was first proposed by Wim Ascherman of the Netherlands around 1950, as a separate way of scoring. It was at that time in response to some problems that Gerard Neuberg would later tackle in a slightly different way. I shall show that in continuing some of the reasoning that led to the Neuberg system, the Ascherman system is actually a further refinement of the Mitchell system.
The main purpose in proposing the Ascherman system is however its ease of use.
Therefore I propose to consider the Ascherman system as a separate system, based on exactly the same principles as Mitchell-Neuberg, but in stead counting 1..3..5..

As there is no other source for the Ascherman system, it comes in only one form, and includes both refinements proposed as part of the Mitchell 4 system.
