This would be for the team that loses the cans. 5 full stacks with cans and litter is 210, assuming no auto points. for the teams that win cans. The only points the alliance with 3 cans can get is from litter across the field and individual totes. Assuming 7 pieces of litter (28 pts) across the field, they would now have to score another 12 totes just to even catch up with 5 stacks with cans and litter. That might not look like alot, but every piece of litter missed, or put into the landfill zone increases that tote number by 2. It could get out of control real fast, especially because at the high level, I expect the captain and #1 pick to both be able to do at least 3 full stacks with cans. 6 stacks with cans and litter is basically insurmountable, because it would require 21 totes to be scored to make up for that stack.
