AFAIK (I haven't confirmed this yet), when a team plays as a surrogate for an alliance, FIRST does not include that alliance's scores in the surrogate team's totals that they report on the Rankings page.

Ah, that makes much more sense.
I haven't confirmed it either, but the a team's points in the rankings better not be affected by the alliance's scores in which that team is a surrogate. That would completely defeat the point of surrogates.
