Making the ten point doesn't accomplish much other than looking pretty, and depending on your aesthetics, a bunch of stripped points may not look so pretty.

The next point I want to make is the nine, so 21/15 to aim a fourth builder at it. Yes, this allows two more shots than 21/16 11/10, but most of those shots don't cover so I'm not even sure if white will hit with some of them. I'm not seeing a lot of other options - no point in stacking in the homeboard with 11/6. 11/5, 10/5, 10/4 etc. Building the prime is the top priority, but since we can't use the five to do that we might as well run and turn it into a builder.

21/15
