2047: High Stake Bonus for VexU "Buddy Climb"

JHAWK

<VUG2>

Rule VUG2b states:

A Robot which meets all other Climbing requirements, but is not contacting the Ladder at the end of the Match, will have their Climbing points doubled.

Rule SC9 (which I was unable to link) states:

A High Stake bonus is available to an Alliance that ends the Match with a Ring Scored on the High Stake. Each Robot from that Alliance which has earned points for a Climb will receive an additional two (2) points for that Climb.

If a robot has their climbing points doubled per rules VUG2b, is their high stake bonus considered climbing points and thus doubled from 2 to 4?

Thank you for your question! The doubled score provided by clause B of <VUG2> applies to both the initial Climb points and the High Stake bonus.

For example, a VURC Robot supported only by their partner Robot for a Level 3 buddy Climb with the High Stake bonus would earn 28 points ((12+2)×2) for that Robot's Climb.
