One of the things that will be most interesting is when the RCs are taken from the step. For example, if the matchup previously mentioned by Andrew actually occurred, then one alliance could take the RCs from the step thus decreasing the max score possible for the other, therefore, decreasing the teams average score. Even though you are not concerned with W/L this year, you can still effect the other alliances score by decreasing what they can max, especially with the RCs on the step.
