We brought up this pyramid stacking question to Woody at the Manchester, NH Q&A period. His answer was the total number of boxes in your area minus stack height (by measuring stick, not actual number of boxes in stack) multiplied by stack height (again, by measuring stick).

I agree that this does not match what the rules currently state and expect we will get a clarification to match the above counting method.

There is still an advantage to flipping a box upside down in that you don't have to lift it as high to get the next higher stack multiple.
