Post Update-1: Crazy Scroing Eqn.

The updated rule SC8 says that

"The **height** of the tallest stack ... measured in whole stack units ... is subtracted from the total number of containers to establish the "base score"..."

Now consider this:

Boxes on ground: 4
Stack Height:4 (Boxes in stack : 4)
Base Score = Boxes on ground + Boxes in stack = 8
Therefore, the score = (8 Base Score-4 High stack)*4 High Stack score=16pts.

Now if, somehow, the 4 box stack had a height of 5 (all of them were on end or something) this happens:

Boxes on ground: 4
Stack Height:5 (Boxes in stack : 4)
Base Score = 4 Boxes on ground + 4 Boxes in stack = 8
Therefore, the score = (8 Base Score-5 High stack)*5 High Stack
Score = 15pts.

With this equation, you can score LESS for turning a box on its side. Am I reading this correctly? This is real weird if I am.
