This sentence really confuses me, particularly the first part. Can you describe in more detail what you mean by this?
Scoring is a step function--each capped stack is really worth 36 or 42 points. If a team can't fit in that last stack in the last few seconds, they fall 36 or 42 points behind, not just 2 or 4. We can see how teams fall into 2, 3 or 4 stacks per match teams (only 2 or 3 at that higher level, and a dozen at the next level). There aren't really any 2.5 stack teams, because that's largely meaningless due to the lumpiness of stack scoring.
