How many optimist clubs does one need to belong to make 8/5* part of the choice?! (I don't belong to any so not my play.)

20/11 seems to be begging to get gammoned. (Yeh, there are a lot of gammon losses in the air, regardless.) Does that win enough more games to make it worthwhile compared to 22/13? At least White's 6's aren't so great after the conservative play.

22/13, and if that's wrong I promise to join another Pessimists International chapter as penance.
