While this is interesting, do keep in mind that tripling is taking another ball scorer away from the game. If the tripling alliance scores even one less ball on average, than tripling wouldn't have an outcome on the average match.
My completely unnecessary 2 cents: I like the change. I really don't think that the sky is falling because of it. There are still plenty of strategic options. Reducing the triple balance by 10 points in quals would make it completely unbalanced and worthless in my opinion.
