This isn't worth bugging first about. The game is unfair. Deal with it and move on. If teams decide to work for a tie, let them. They'll simply alienate themselves from the rest of the first community.

99% of us understand that First is about the thrill of working with science and technology to build a machine in 6 weeks. You'll be hard pressed to find 4 teams willing to screw that system. If not, then I better find another project to work on cause First isn't what I thought it was.
