A team that gets snuffed out due to the high level of competition probably won't get enough points from their second event to qualify, but a similar calibre team on the edge of qualifying won't lose their spot due to the outcome.
It's just the way the cookie crumbles unfortunately. One teams lucky break is another teams downfall.

2612 did something a few years ago that was shocking to most that their third event. They declined to play in eliminations, so that other teams (possible needing the points) would have the chance to gain them.
