"Strategy Crib" board

Reader Larry emailed to ask:


I have a 'strategy crib' board but no instructions as how to play the game. the two outside rows have 120 peg holes. the center row contains only 97 holes. where the fifth hole should be is number 5 or 9 with arrows on both sides indicating up or down.

It looks as though, while this board can be used for scoring regular Cribbage, the central row of holes is meant for some kind of enhancement to the game, but it's not clear what. Does anyone have any ideas?

Some info
