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.

The net gain idea is good, but, unfortunately, that still ends up with it somehow being okay if both sides are covered in litter, as long as they are equally covered in litter. I'd venture to say, from a "recycle rush" standpoint, that's still kinda wrecking the spirit of the game.
It would make far more sense if processed litter was worth more points than unprocessed litter. It encourages proper disposal techniques as opposed to littering, increases the benefit of the strategy I mentioned above, and, if alliances still wanted to make noodle agreements, makes the easy way out worth a lot less. If you wanted to get real points for a noodle agreement, you would agree to put equal numbers of noodles in the landfill.
