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.
I like this suggestion...it minimizes rule changes, and keeps the spirit of the game as I understand it. It also encourages teams to score noodles in the recycling bins, since if the other team has 10 noodles on the field and they have 9 on the field with one in a bin, that's a net gain of one for them.
