Moving to a graduated level of points for elimination victories does not affect the top of the top, it affects the middle to lower top. The top in any district will have won their first two districts. At that point, the differentiation comes from qualification wins and awards. What it does change is it provides differentiation between a team that is a finalist at both districts vs a team that wins 1 district and is semifinalist at their other. Which is better? What about a team that is semifinalist at both events, vs Finalist and Quarter Finalist?
