How about looking at the difference in "scored noodles" and not just the total?
Example blue team tries to play TNA with red. Both dump all 10 noodles in their own zone. Both have 10 noodles .... Difference is zero so no added score to either side. Teams could still try to gain advantage of trying to throw into opposing side. This way some TNA "arrangement" would not benefit either team.
I do think that allowing this in ANY circumstance could lead to GDC unintended circumstances during elims though by collusion between two alliances to artificially raise one of the alliance's scores to beat out a higher ranked alliance's score that has already played
I would like to think that the intent of this game is to let alliances score as high as they can and let the best four (or two) scoring alliances move on during the playoffs.
