Re: pic: 6X multiplier?

Would this possibly not count as scored because the bins could technically be supporting each other?

From the Q&A:

Quote:
Q55
Q.Can more than one recycle bin be scored on the same stack if they are both fully supported by the tote stack?
A.Yes, per Section 3.1.2.3, a RECYCLING CONTAINER is scored if it is fully supported by only scored Gray TOTES.
Quote:
Q418
Q.We are seeking clarification for "A RECYCLING CONTAINER is scored if it is fully supported by only scored Gray TOTES." A sideways RECYCLING CONTAINER can be scored where it rolls and contacts another scored RECYCLING CONTAINER on an adjacent stack. The weight of both RECYCLING CONTAINERS are fully supported by the scored Gray TOTES beneath them, but there is significant horizontal contact between the RECYCLING CONTAINERS. Are both RECYCLING CONTAINERS considered scored?
A.If the weight of both RECYCLING CONTAINERS is fully supported by only scored Grey TOTES beneath them, both RECYCLING CONTAINERS would be considered scored. Contact between RECYCLING CONTAINERS that does not support any of their weight will not prevent them from scoring.

From what I understand if the cans are touching they won't count it for its not FULLY supported by the totes

See the post above yours.
Interesting. This could be a really really good strategy. In fact, it is, as it effectively makes a stack worth 5x that of just totes at very little extra cost.

The extra cost is rather significant - the very real likelihood of de-scoring all of the points of the first RC and maybe even the totes. My advice is to not try this in a match unless both of the following are true:
  • Because of alliance abilities or time, there are not going to be enough tote stacks to put one under each of your RCs
  • You've practiced it so much that you know you're a good bit more likely to score than de-score (and I mean practiced with a scoring platform, not on carpet)
