Max score on a single peg

[George1902]

I see the max score for a logo on the top row as 45 points.

AUTONOMOUS SCORE: 3 UBERTUBES on the top row x 6 points each = 18 points
PEG SCORE: 3 LOGO PIECES over UBERTUBES on the top row x 6 points each = 18 points
LOGO BONUS: 9 points for a LOGO on the top row

18 + 18 + 9 = 45

Here's some evidence for my interpretation of the LOGO BONUS. These are the only 3 instances of the phrase "LOGO BONUS" in the Manual. Emphasis mine.

The words "added," "sum," and "additional" tell me that we should be adding a set bonus (9, 6, or 3) whenever there is a LOGO, not just doubling the values of those PEG SCORES.

Sigh. I can also see that as being true. Seems like another one for the Q&A.

The words "added," "sum," and "additional" tell me that we should be adding a set bonus (9, 6, or 3) whenever there is a LOGO, not just doubling the values of those PEG SCORES.

But adding those values is the same as adding the other half of the 2x bonus.

ie:
Adding 3 points to a top row tube with a Ubertube behind it is the same as multiplying the score on that peg by two.

You are correct in the fact that it can be added on, but you can just say the score on each peg is multiplied by two if there is an Ubertube behind it. The calculation comes out to the same thing and it defeats the purpose of adding different values based on the height.

Either way it is right, but I do understand how the rules refer to adding on to the score, rather than multiplying it.
