Scoring

Some clarification, please.

I'm here watching the Buckeye on NASA TV, and it seems that they're counting the stacks as part of the base score. I thought it was (a-s)*s+25r, where a is the number of bins in the scoring zone, s is the number of bins in the tallest stack, and r is the number of bots from your alliance on the HDPE at the end of the match.

I'm assuming this from the end of the HP period, where they're giving a score of 32 for two stacks of four. 4x4=16... or am I going insane?

Did this change somewhere along the way? Did I miss it? (I'm going to admit that when I read update #20 the first time I was tired and didn't completely comprehend it as it was written.)
