This coloured TOTE doubles the point value of any scoring TOTE stack of which it is a part. (ie. a six-TOTE stack with RECYCLING CONTAINER and LITTER would normally score 42 points. If the coloured TOTE is present as one of the six TOTES, the stack will now count for 84 points)." |
I like it.
I realized a better scoring that might have helped teams that had difficulty capping would have been to change the stack scoring to linear progression points instead of 2 points per tote. There is no advantage to building stacks vs. placing them singlely on the scoring platform. The scoring could have been 1+2+3+4+5+6. Total stack = 21 instead of 12, and a 3 stack scores the same as before. The mid level teams would have done much better. I think 3 stacks uncapped was achievable by many teams, and they would have had 63 points.
