As typical with the 11 roll I see multiple seemingly reasonable candidates.

24/21, 8/7 -- looks like the GS play for sure, but that's not the score. Still has some very good things going for it, such as fewest blots, fewest shots, and an advanced anchor for security.

8/7, 6/5(2), 8/7 -- makes a great four point block, but offers White good aces and fours including the joker 22, with 11 and 13 fighting for her (distant) second best shake.

6/4*(2) -- all the pluses of putting two checkers on the bar, but leaving a somewhat inflexible condition for Blue which could crumble quickly.

If either of its alternatives looked nicer to me I'd choose otherwise, but I'll grab that anchor with the 7-pt as a bonus.

24/21, 8/7.
