Semi finals doubles, 2008 US National Association Championships.

Time left is just over an hour. What would you do?

Greg Wicksteed's Gravatar Lift Yellow to Blue in the first corner. Load the 1-back hoop with Blue while going to Red near the peg. Roll Yellow and Red near Black in the fourth corner. Stop-shot Black to the 2-back hoop. Set Red to rush Yellow to the 2-back hoop while covering the boundary, hopefully with one or both balls hidden from Black behind hoop 4.

The opponent would prefer to play his Black ball but will also feel the need to move Blue away from Red's 1-back hoop.
