I'm going to learn something here because if this weren't a challenge you wouldn't have posted it, and I still don't see the challenge.

I've looked for candidates and only see two I'm even remotely interested in: both start with 25/20 and then it's between 13/9 and 9/5*.

I've mentioned my version of "when in doubt, hit" here before. Start with the hit, try to talk yourself out of it, and if you don't come up with a really good reason not to, just hit. OtB that would apply here; hit the clock.

You don't want opp to make her 20-pt. You're already well behind in the race. Opp has as blot on her acept. If you hit there will be some duplication of her 3's and 5's. (That's also true for her 3's after 13/9.) I can see some negative features of the position after hitting but those appear mostly present if Blue plays 13/9.

25/20, 9/5*.

Learn me something, Stick.
