My "track board" has holes that goes up to 8 (games), but it didn't come
to two pegs for that purpose.

I believe what you say about track boards but I couldn't find any on the web.
Here is a link to a "track board" -- 120 or 121 holes for each player:

Here is one of the other sort:: 60 holes for each player--you make 2
"laps" (go around twice):

It just occurred to me, a game of Euchre is scored up to 10 points (but
the way I heard it, you're supposed to usethe four 5 cards to display
the score). I think that's to distract you while you've being cheated!
; ) Ithink I have never seen what I thought was an "honest" gameof
Euchre. It may have been played, but I can't sayas my background is too
limited.

This could be the answer, the only game score boards with 24 holes that I've
found on the web are these Euchre boards:

They aren't the exact same configuration but this is the closest I've seen so
far. Anyone know why they would have four pegs if they are only tracking two
scores?

Two pegs are used for each player in normal scoring because SOME PEOPLE
(everyone) has a really tough time remembering exactly where the peg
WAS, AFTER they have removed it from the board. With two pegs, one
merely removes the back peg and advances it the appropriate number of
places ahead of the peg that is in front. The peg that was in front now
becomes the back peg. This helps to keep the game more civil! I
think using two pegs makes sense for keeping track of the number of
games won for the sdame reason. Some people take their Cribbage
seriously (I had a friend who did)! It's a nice social game.

Indeed. I have a Cribbage pegboard made from a slab of wood cut cross
section of a tree, all nicely varathaned and set up just tht way.
Double tracks, 4 pegs

Maybe just two extra pegs.

Thanks,
Rob
