I wonder if it would be possible to have the log checking score the log
in every possible four-band combination and use the highest score and band
combination. You could submit a six-band log and have the log checking
software automatically pick the highest-scoring four bands for you. Those
four bands could even change, depending on the penalties assessed in the
cross-checking.
That might be antithetical to the spirit of the category, though.
