22/11 for me and any 2nd choice is well down the list.
Making the 16 pt is out since it is not that important and frees up Stick's 8 pt stack to come after us on his 4 pt.
Anything hitting on our 2 pt, results in badly missplacing (for this game type) at least 1 checker.
22/16 13/8 is possible but breaks the mid point and leaves more shots than 22/11 so is rejected as we want to keep the mid point in this game type to make it harder for Stick to control the outfield and nearly prime us.
13/8 13/7 also looks quite wrong since if missed, we only cover with a 3 and the play also gives up too much outfield and often results in us playing a battle of mini-primes with 5 back vs 1..ie a silly game plan that often results in a poorly timed backgame.
22/11 and if he hits, so what we have two unblocked and unprimed (currently) anchors and his 8 pt stack is hard to develop (true after many of our plays) and if he misses, we've kept our midpoint and have as good forward chances as we do after the too committal 13/8 13/7.
22/11 for me.
