I will also dispute this, as this is never stated in the determination of Coopertition points. 5.3.5:

Any borrowed MINIBOT which scores points by legally triggering the TARGET during the MATCH receives one (1) Coopertition point for the FRC TEAM registered for the event that is affiliated with the MINIBOT.
The total number of Coopertition points earned by a TEAM throughout the qualification matches will be their Coopertition score.

"Any borrowed minibot which scores points...during the match". Not "any borrowed minibot which scores points...during the qualification match".

If that's a rule, then it needs to be stated in the rulebook. Because it isn't stated, then it isn't a rule and isn't enforceable as a rule.
