Every competition in FRC I have been involved with through 2011 used a system where the winning alliance received the losing alliance's unpenalized score and the losing alliance received their penalized score as part of "seeding points". In 2010, it was called the Coopertition Bonus and those values were doubled. Those were they tiebreakers until in 2012 your HP, and now in 2013 your AP counts as the tiebreaker, which I think everyone is a fan of.
In 2009, 2011, and 2013, your QS was based on the 2-1-0 system. 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie, 0 for a loss. Very straightforward.
In 2012 the coopertition bonus was scored under the 2-1-0 system and was included in the QS, which made some events... interesting.
2010 was a big exception in FRC. Teams earned "seeding points". Every team was given the winning alliance score, with a 5 point bonus if you win. 1114/111 lost the match but really only lost 5 points in the seeding system. At CMP, the matches were high-scoring enough for 5 points to be miniscule enough to overcome, unlike how losing 2 matches at CMP can destroy your hopes at being an alliance captain and 3 losses can really put you in serious trouble.

I liked the 2011 MSC finals and the 2012 Archimedes finals the most.
