It CAN be negative. Say you score 5 bins and manage to stack 3 of them to equal 6 SHU:

Bins = 5
Max SHU = 6

Score = (5 - 6) * 6 = -6
I have a question, isn't this an over-complication of the way the scoring was explained during kickoff?

If you had 5, and stacked 3 to a height of six, you would have 2 scoring bins.

so your score is 6 * 2 = 12

Or am I just confused?

Seems to me they made this harder than they had to, if there are 4 bins in a stack, the stack should be 4 high, who cares if one is crooked.
