The best idea I can come up with is to just go with a scoring system similar to all sports out there: 2 (or 3) points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss. That way, maximizing points for both sides doesn't help both sides, and immediately stops any possibility for collusion. Then at the end of the competition, points are used as a tiebreaker (e.g. 3 teams are undefeated at the end of competition, and whoever has the greatest point differential is in first).

Hm.. good thinking. That would be better. I hereby change my vote to your point system.
