Point Value Changes for Champs

Per the Game Manual, the Blue Box under 3.1.2.4 states
Quote:
As competition at the FIRST Championship is typically different from that during rest of the competition season, FIRST may alter each scoring value at the FIRST Championship.
At Champs, will we have hit a threshold in level of play where point values should be re-adjusted in order to remove the 'insta-win' autonomous Canburglaring, and if so what point values should be adjusted?

For example, the GDC could theoretically alter Autonomous values, which are at some of their lowest point values relative to actual gameplay scores (%-wise) that I can remember outside of 2009. For further incentives, the GDC could mandate that only the containers in the pre-staged alliance zones count towards the container set. However, this would simply lead to a Teleop Canburglar race, which then means we're still back to an autonomous Canburglar race.

What other point adjustments could the GDC make, and how would it impact play?
