Maybe 1st and 2nd place get 20 points while 3rd and 4th get 15? It's a very possibly worth-it tradeoff if you decide you really must delay the end of the match so your alliance partner can hang that last tube. It also rewards teams that have spent time making superfast minibots without making it necessary for every other team to develop (very heavily inspired) new ramps and minibots.
It be interesting if it were 1st and 3rd were 20 points and 2nd and 4th 15 points.....
