As a follow-up to Q&A 2480, I wanted to know if the 2 additional bonus points should be considered in Match Affecting calculations if a destructive <SG9> situation were to happen where the alliance has already scored a ring on a high stake.
From my understanding of Q&A 2480 it seems to not consider the ring that is already scored on the high stake and only "award 12 points for a Tier 3 Climb." Per <SC9>:
Each Robot from that Alliance which has earned points for a Climb will receive an additional two (2) points for that Climb.
Example Scenario: Red1 has just scored a red ring onto the high stake, and then Blue1 creates a destructive scenario to remove Red1 from being considered climbed.
My current understanding is that Red1 should only receive a 12 point Match Affecting calculation from the guidance and responses given, even though they would receive an additional 2 points if they were at a Tier 3 climb.
Is it the correct interpretation to only apply 12 points to the Match Affecting calculation instead of 14 in this specific scenario?
