I also think it might be a cool idea for first to scrap the QP score method, and just make your total score the QP. This would intensify the game play, and would make it easier for teams who are playing to know who's going to win, and about how many QP's they'll get. It's just too tricky to balance out a good score that easily during a match.
I don't know... with all the problems of fixing scores this year, I think this situation would make things worse....

"psst... hey buddy.... what say your team and my team work together in round 43 where we're up against each other.... this way, both of us get quite a few QP's and there's no need to be too concerned with the winner - the winner's going to get only slightly more points than the loser now that we've gotten away with that pesky 2x the losers score. C'mon, this year you really have nothing to lose! By working together instead of competing, you're sure to increase your rank even if you lose, cause whoever wins is going to get only slightly more points!"

Basically, I like the your-points-plus-2x-the-loser's points - that atleast SOME competition between teams. Without this, I think the problems of this year will just be worsened next year.
