Ubertubes order of operations

[MagiChau]

<G64> This defines the "AUTONOMOUS SCORE" this is a score created by the ubertube positions. No where does it say ubertubes may only count for this. Though if my <G66> interpretation is false, then yes ubertube is only calculated in this.

<G65> This defines the "PEG SCORE" this is a score created by logo pieces position. Ubertubes are only mentioned as doubling a scoring peg's value.

<G66> This defines the "LOGO BONUS" this is a multiplier on the assigned points from the scoring pegs,

SCORING PEG(PEG) - one of nine round, horizontal pieces on each SCORING GRID. Each PEG can hold up to two GAME PIECES.

As I see this the assigned points are all the points assigned to each scoring peg in that row are effectively doubled.
As the AUTONOMOUS SCORE had points assigned to that peg, I see it as counting.

Though the "effectively doubling the score of the row" <G66> does point to intend ubertubes not counting but as it says effectively I will say this is not an absolute law, therefore just an observation of what the Game Designing Committee saw in the effect of the LOGO BONUS.

I believe this would be a great question for the GDC. It appears that since <G65> defines 'The PEG SCORE is the sum of points determined by position of the GAME PIECES ..." and the ubertubes is a defined GAME PIECE, and since <G64> The AUTONOMOUS SCORE is the sum of points determined by position of the ALLIANCE UBERTUBES ..." I could see how there could be confusion on exactly what is the "sum" of points.

My guess, and it is just that - a guess - is that since you get a doubling effect from the ubertubes, they wouldn't allow you to "double dip" and get points for also its autonomous mode points. This is exactly the kind of question that the GDC should clarify.

The note under <G65> states that after the autonomous period an Ubertube acts only as a modifier and carries no point value of its own.
