(...) It is my understanding that the idea is to allow a builder to use as much area beyond the 32x32 baseplate as they want on 2 sides (I don't think we ever determined which side(s), similar to the rules for rtlToronto's C$ competition.

For now, I think I'm falling onto the side of "no bonus". Mostly, I want this to be a tic-tac-toe challenge.
