==History==
*The CAP-ACP workload committee document states this rule has ''not'' been modified from the 2014 edition of L4E (see ''Page 4'').<ref name=capacp2018/> However, the ''General Guidelines for Coding'' (see ''Page 7'') have changed for L2 (from 0.333 L4E to 0.25 L4E) and L1 (from 0.15 to 0.125);<ref name=capacp2018/> thus, the rule in the 2018 edition of L4E results in a different weighting where larger cases have significantly less value.
**Cutting 6 deepers in 2014 was 0.3 L4E; in the 2018 edition it is 0.25 L4Es.
**Submitting 6 additional blocks in 2014 was 2 L4E; in the 2018 edition it is 1.5 L4E.
