This. After a few days of thinking on it I think most teams would be better served practicing to get 1-2 more cycles than wasting time with a scaling mechanism.

I see an alliance with 1-2 high goal bots and 1-2 low goal breachers/enforcers being the typical regional winning alliance. At least one regional will be won by an alliance with no high goal capability. Good luck winning if your alliance can't consistently breach and capture, those bonus points are worth a lot of cycles when your alliance has exhausted the defenses they can do easily.
