There is, as far as I can tell, some room for interpretation: yes, the maximum number of points you can get for creative additions is 16, and the most points you can get per addition is four – that's true at every level of competition – but whether that means you can only get points for up to four creative additions is unclear to me (and actually it's not clear to me if that's the way they score it at Nationals, either).
I know the NY state supervisor will give points for as many creative additions as you put on there, up to sixteen points total (e.g., if you have eight creative additions and each is good enough to get two points, there's your sixteen points; if you have six creative additions and they're each good enough for three points, you still only get sixteen... of course, more likely, you'd have something like six creative additions of which one might get 3 points, two might get two and a half points each, one gets two and a quarter points, and the remaining two each get one and a half points; partial points are a big deal in this event). I don't know specifically how models are graded at any other state competition.
