<SC2>
Placed Scoring Object criteria.• A Pin is considered Placed if it meets all of the following criteria: The Pin is partially or entirely nested with a Goal, or with a Cup that is partially or entirely nested with another Placed Pin. Each Goal and/or each half of a Cup nested with that Pin contains a maximum of one Pin half. (See Figure SC2-2.)
• A Cup is considered Placed if it meets the following criteria: The Cup is partially or entirely nested with a Placed Pin.
In the context of <SC2>, nested means that one half of a Pin is partially or completely contained within the inner volume of a Cup or Goal. In other words, the Pin is breaking an imaginary plane at the opening of a Cup or Goal, in any way. Robot contact does not matter for the purposes of <SC2>, and a Robot that is contacting or Possessing a Pin and/or Cup that still meets the criteria presented in <SC2> does not negate the Placed status, provided no other rules are broken (particularly <SG6>).
Figure SC2-1: The Scoring Objects stacked in the Goal all count as Placed, as they are all at least partially nested with the Goal and/or other Placed Scoring Objects.
Figure SC2-2: The Pin resting on top is partially nested with the Cup, but the Pin is not considered Placed since that half of the Cup contains more than one Pin half.
