My 2 cents:

A tower is a tower is a tower.  What should score is the hight, not the
number of blocks that make up that hight.

SO I'd score any three layer tower as a 3 blocks in the fabulous scoring
sequence for hight points, even if each layer is made of multiple
touching blocks.

Not sure how the colour and home square bonus should count in that case
though....possibly on the total block count to reflect the sorting and
home-square-finding functionality?

I forgot to put it in before, but in previous events, if two towers touched each
other, that was acceptable.  They still counted as two separate towers.  Scoring
applies as per normal, the rules page has been updated.  Thanks Wayne and RobA
for catching this!
