Edit: To expand, given that the top dimension of a tote is 26.9", and containers have a diameter of 18", that means that two perfectly placed containers atop a stack of totes leaves 4.55" hanging off each side, not including if you place it with the handles touch or anything like that.

This method actually makes for better starting stacks at the top, wedges the first stack in between the backstop and the first 6 tote stack and makes better and more stable start allowing 2 can toppers that are offset in height where RC's are wider.
Note*:Move the top 2 rows over until they justify right....I can't do it editing.

(You can really only cap every other stack if stacked tight together). RC's are wider @ top.
NOW, get busy on the other scoring platform....LOL!
* Not perfect, but you can get the idea \_/ probably better for RC's.
Yes, you can space them out further and score 42 points a stack max., but hit 1 and knock it over, and the entire wall of Jericho can come tumbling down, stack em', pack em' & rack em' tight, they will suffer hits and keep standing better. ....That, and you are only absolutely assured 3 RC's anyway (competing for 4 more).
