Correct. That is our understanding of the rules and the refs who have tested or used our scorer have been in agreement.

Pulling the Black Bars to safety does not change the "Black bars are elsewhere on the mat" condition.  Yes, once the demolition is down, you lose the +8 per Black bar in Original position AND you get penalty of -8 per bar for Black Bars elsewhere (even if you drag them into Safety).  

You must do something else with the Black Bars (put them in a bin, for example) to not get the penalty for Black bars being "elsewhere". For example, if the team put the black bars in a bin, they follow a different scoring condition and you will get points for bars being in a matching bin.

Hope this helps
Sanjay and Arvind
