Not really accurate. The system rewarded you if you lost and the team you lost too had a very HIGH score. That's why teams scored 6 v 0 instead of just not scoring at all.

And I don't think they figured that were going to lose anyway...they just weighed the odds and with 111 also high in the rankings, the best strategy for them was to 6 v 0...and it proved correct as they ended up seeding first.
