It's not as if your ability to score depends on your opponents, the schedule, the 'overpowering defense', field faults.....

Difficult is not a synonym for cruel. Something that is difficult requires much preparation and effort to accomplish. Something that is cruel is an unavoidable yet harrowing and painful experience.
A situation exists where the #1 alliance could stumble into a DQ situation for one match and get tossed from the whole tournament because of the system. That is cruel.
