Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking. Maybe these will help: - Recycling containers score based on the lowest part of the container, and only if they are supported completely by scored gray totes. The scoring is based on "scoring zones" marked on the backstop, at 4 points per zone. These zones seem to be based on RCs being atop "normally stacked" totes (that is, with the 12" axis vertical), possibly allowing for a handle of a horizontal RC to drop below the supporting tote. If atop "normally stacked" totes, RCs score 4 points per layer of totes beneath them, up to 6 layers.
- The backstop itself does not score any points in any case. As I read the rules and Q&As, an RC partially or wholly supported by the backstop would not be completely supported by scored gray totes, and would not score. (It also risks a foul due to rule G23: ROBOTS may not cause TOTES, RECYCLING CONTAINERS, and/or LITTER to completely leave the FIELD.)
