SCORED - a tetra is scored when it is contained within a goal or stacked on top of a goal

STACKED - a tetra is stacked when it is placed on top of a goal or on top of another stacked tetra. to be considered stacked, the tetra must be properly seated on the subordinate goal or tetra such that all four apex connectors are within six inches of the supporting structure. Due to the goal and tetra geometries, a tetra may occasionally not completely "seat" on the goal or subordinate tetra, and remain precariously positioned on top of the structure. such tetras are not considered stacked. A tetra is not considered stacked if it is touching a robot of the same alliance.

SUPPORTED - if the "supporting object" is removed, the tetra would not remain scored or stacked

According to the stacked definition, the blue tetra is not considered stacked (because all four apexes are not within 6 inches of the goal) and would thus be disregarded . considering that, one only needs to look at the red tetra is comparison to the goal, which would become its supporting object. All four red apexes are within six inches of the goal, and their by, red owns the goal.
