If what Gope wrote is correct (the final elim score uses qual points), then it was obviously changed to deal with those who said, "Make the elimination rounds the same as the qualifying rounds." This change requires you to not beat up your opponent to win, the same way that qual points require you to keep the score close in the qualifying matches.

What Gope wrote - that the clearly dominant team lost - is likely the point of this change, not an unintended consequence, and it will make the elimination rounds closer and more interesting.
