Not to mention that certain events (like Ramp Riot) randomize the back-up/4th partners.
I would say it's odd because you want to keep a philosophy of having an undefeated, zero tie record at an event in qualifications equal 24 points, AND a full run through eliminations gives you 30 points. Why not keep picking the same value but give no value to third picks? Shouldn't there be at least a solution where every event is giving out the same amount of points for this third aspect of scoring (I am assuming any awards at any event wouldn't go for points).
