I want to say that the coopertition points (and the removal of them from later matches) points to the GDC wanting to keep the numbers closer to consistent. It might be that they think 40 points is the average point difference between qualifications and eliminations. This would be used for analyzing game health though. Either way FRC games tend to live fast and die young. Now that I think about it I don't know much about the GDC. I know they design games but what goes on behind the scenes with all the data available after the competition closes is a mystery to me. Maybe they review it, maybe the GDC is also a secret paper mache society that prints out all the data and uses it for amazing sculptures.
