None of the stuff I had was sub-23 optimal and it doesn't seem like any of the mallards 22s are something I'd consider a miss.
D L U' B2 D'          // eoud       (5/5)
                      // rzpfb-eoud (0/5)
(D2 B' L D2 R)        // drfb-eoud  (5/10)
L2 F (R2 D2 F2 L2 B)  // htr-drfb   (7-1/16)
L2 D2 R2 D2 F2 L2     // fin        (6/22)
This seems maybe most reasonable, but 4->5 casino has never been my strong side.

DR is 22 optimal and so are the 10+1 extentions, but the scramble is full of good stuff everywhere else, I just fumbled.

Best thing on the scramble and an early find.

DNF
-
Got some form of food poisoning (i think) the morning of the attempt. 
It got real bad around 10mins into the attempt so I decided to just find the finish to:
(R' D2 L U' D)
(R F R' B R) //10+4 2c6e
and then sadly it got even worse at around 15min so I just had to take the DNF and leave.

The 20 seems pretty easy so definitely bummed about how it all turned out, but nobody is at their 100% a 100% of the time.
DR is 22 optimal but it's not like a gave myself a fair chance at trying to find it.

DR is 23 optimal, but the path is a little crazy:
(... R') ... L //DR

DR is actually 22 optimal and it would've been more or less the best thing on the scramble.
