Re: Do ubers and doubled values also double as part of a set?

That's not how I interpret it

Quote:
<G64> The AUTONOMOUS SCORE is the sum of points determined by the positions of the three ALLIANCE UBERTUBES at the conclusion of the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD. The AUTONOMOUS PERIOD ends when the ARENA timer reaches zero seconds.
Note that the ubertubes go to the AUTONOMOUS SCORE, not the SCORING PEGS

Quote:
<G65> The PEG SCORE is the sum of points determined by the positions of the GAME PIECES on each SCORING GRID. A LOGO PIECES HANGING in front of an UBERTUBE doubles the points for that SCORING PEG. The table below gives the value for each GAME PIECE HANGING on a SCORING PEG.
Key here is that the ubertube doubles the points on the SCORING PEG

Quote:
<G66> If three LOGO PIECES form a LOGO, the assigned points from the SCORING PEGS in that row of that SCORING GRID are given as an additional LOGO BONUS, effectively doubling the score of the row.
Only the points on the SCORING PEGS are doubled, and no reference is ever made to the AUTONOMOUS SCORE.

So, my interpretation is that the doubling does not include the base score for having an ubertube there, but it does include the double points for a tube in front of the ubertube.
