I think they just mistyped example 5. They state that you take the total bins in the zone (including in the stack) and subtract what is in the stack to get your base score.

In every example except 5, they counted the stack when doing the math. I really think there is just an oversight. There should be no reason that the 3 for the stack doesn't count as the base score.

As to GM31. I agree with the final clarification and have been stating that was the intent of the rule from the beginning. My question is: Why couldn't they have just said that in the first place? Maybe the loopholes were not apparent. It also looks as if FIRST definitely reads this site and has targeted specific mechanisms seen on this site.

Update 20 seems to basically say, "Use the HDPE to hold ground and you're safe. Any other locking means and you are on thin ice."

We will see how this is enforced.
